It will depend on the oxidizer you are using. Nitrate-aluminum flash powders are pretty stable, but a ammonium perchlorate-aluminum flash powder is extremely shock sensitive. One scrap on the ground and it could ignite.
By the way, flash powders (with the exception of ammonium nitrate and aluminum which is explosive) do not detonate; they just burn very fast.

What do flash powder do in a firework?
Black powder, in fact is the term used in fireworks. Otherwise, it may be referred to as gunpowder although black powder has now become a more acceptable term because it is no longer used in guns(except for the antique ones). Guns now utilize smokeless powders.
What are the names of some fireworks compounds?
Black powder, flash powder, KP, H3, Armstrong's mix, willow, and their are others that just have generic names such as blue star #1.
Can nitrocellulose propellant detonate?
No, nitrocellulose propellant does not detonate like a high explosive. It deflagrates, which means it burns rapidly rather than exploding with a shockwave. However, mishandling or containment failure can lead to energetic burning or fires.
What are low explosives Give any two examples of it?
Low explosives are materials that deflagrate (burn rapidly) rather than detonate. They are typically less powerful and generate less pressure than high explosives. Two examples of low explosives are black powder and smokeless powder.
What element is commonly used in flash bulbs for producing light?
Magnesium is used extensively in old-fashioned flash photography. It is used in some fireworks, also. Fireworks usually contain a mixture of metals chosen for the colors they produce, along with gunpowder. Old fashioned flash powder can be made several ways including gunpowder mixed with tiny particles of magnesium, aluminum, or other metals.
What kind of gas is created from gun powder in a small rifle cartridge when it is detonated?
The gun powder does not detonate, it burns.
During early flash photography would the powder used to make the flash get on people and what was the powder made of?
Early flash powder was made of thermite. And yes, it was extremley messy and if the pan holding the flash powder wasn't held carefully could easily cover everything
Who invented flash powder?
The invention of flash powder is credited to German chemist Adolf Miethe and Austrian-born photographer Johannes Gaedicke in the late 19th century. Flash powder revolutionized photography by allowing for the creation of high-speed, bright flashes of light to capture images.
Is black powder stronger then flash powder?
No flash powder is stronger and also more unsafe! I suggest reading up on the matter if you would like to know more.
How do you make m-80s an what type powder do you use?
Flash powder.
What is the difference between black powder and flash powder?
Black powder is a traditional gunpowder made from a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. Flash powder is a more modern pyrotechnic composition that produces a bright flash of light and a loud noise when ignited, typically composed of a fine fuel powder and a strong oxidizer. Flash powder is more powerful and volatile than black powder.
Where can i find ingredients for flash powder?
Fine Alumimum powder and potassium chlorate or perchlorate
If you get flash powder on your hands what do you do?
wash it of with water and soap
How much does flash powder cost?
You cannot buy flash powder online or at any other store - that would be like buying C4 over the Internet. You would need to make it yourself from an oxidizer and aluminum or magnesium powder.
What is the flash point of aluminum powder?
The flash point of aluminum powder is not applicable, as it does not readily ignite in its powder form. Aluminum powder is flammable when dispersed in air as a dust cloud, but it does not have a specific flash point like liquids or gases. Proper handling and storage to prevent dust cloud formation are crucial to avoid fire hazards.
Where do you buy flash powder?
you can't buy flash powder. it is used to make firecrackers and explosives, so it is not commercially available. You can make it from an oxidiser and a metallic fuel such as KClO4 and Aluminium.
Why does powder flash back into your face when the gun fires?
