I hope there were holes in it to vent in case of ignition. Otherwise its a nice bomb. When I last checked those things, if you had more than N pounds you needed a decent magazine. Simple fire-safety laws. Smokeless is a few times the strength of BP, for pipe-bombing smokeless is as good or better. I wonder when you'll be questioned if you buy pipe-endcaps at a hardware store. pV=nRT, baby.
