Question:

Would this explosive work?

Ok, I don't mean I'm gonna hurt someone or an animal or anything, I just like blowing homemade explosives up and I'd like to know if you think this word workSo, I lay down some aluminum foil, and sprinkle a half-handful of caps from a cap gun insideThen I stack 5 papers and coat it well in Axe or another short-burning ignitable liquidThen I lay the other half-handful of caps layered within the paperThen I take some twine and lead it out and crumple the whole thing upWould that blow up nicely?

Answer:

It is extremely unlikelyIt will ber hard to ignite it by percussion, as a cap pistol wouldIf you ignite it by heat, it will probably burn, with a bit of popping noise.
