Need Ideas

I was messing around with a few random things while I was cleaning out an old drawer and ended up with a pull ring and rod stuck through a film canister. It reminds me of a grenade so I was wondering if anyone had ideas on how to make it explode.

reminds me of the steel and flint technique, use that tech in lighting an explosive substance in the container

fill the tub with glycerin (not nitro glycerin) then make a paper circle and make it stay on the rod by expanding it a little then put potassium pomangenate on top. be careful though because if it works it is very dangerous

If you want an explosion take the pin and rap the bit thats inside it with the things on the side of match boxes and then stick powdered up match heads in there till' it's as tight as possible....make sure you have lid for it. Then when you pull the pin it will all light at once and cause an explosion. I've already tried this once it works extremely well!!!
