I never thought of making a ball, We simply took a box of "caps" and hit it with a sledge Hammer. More than a firecracker, less than a "Original" M-80. We had those over 40 years ago. MMMMM. . . . M-80's. . . Dropped from the Bridge, would float on the water and go boom. Tied to a rock, Thrown off the bridge, the bridge would shake. tied to a 12 inch piece of string and a rock, the M-80 would blow water over the bridge. I'd say maybe 40 feet.
As for the Video, I'd say sure, you could start a chain reaction with a BB Gun. All the caps in the box were exploded.

God, how I miss a big box of M-80's and a box of cherry-bombs. Even the standard firecrackers of today aren't nearly the same as those from my childhood.

Having never experimented like that, I defer to your knowledge.
