when I was a kid, we bought those ingredients in small quantities and made gunpowder; used it along with a piece of bamboo to make a small cannon that shot stones

Davy, Livingston, If ever in that situation, don't fall for the "painful catheter" bluff. I've had it done & it's not that bad. Stick to your guns.
