"...contact with oxygen producing chemicals."  Or in other words, mixed
with something else.  I've seen Al dust used in explosive mixtures
before.  I'm just saying, I don't think a solid peice of Al (in the form
of a projectile) would do too much in the way of an
ignition/flash/explosion.  It may - I'm not sure.  I haven't tryed it
and/or seen it done before.
