If you have a matchbox filled with 2.5 grams of gunpowder and 30 matchheads wrapped in 8 layers of duct tape how loud will the bang be when it goes off?
MichaelKurras
How loud the bang will be depends on whether and how you get it to go off. It would be difficult to ignite the gunpowder directly since it is wrapped in 8 layers of Duct Tape. As the question does not mention inserting a detonator, we would be left with external detonation sources. How loud the bang would be would vary depending on what type of external detonation source was employed. For example, setting it off with several kilograms of plastic explosive and an external detonator could produce quite a large bang.

What were the bombs filled with that the US dropped on Tokyo during World War 2?
Just your average explosives. Thankfully they weren't nuclear or else we'd be having some serious problems with Japan. (They would undoubtedly be, and irreversibly be, angry with us.) But the bombs again were only filled with gunpowder and materials used to make dynamite. The gunpowder helped to ignite the dynamite if the initial fuse couldn't because the only way gunpowder WONT ignite is if it is wet.
