    You're using the wrong matches. I've made plenty of 'bombs' from CO2 cartridges filled with match heads and I can assure you that they exploded. Strike-anywhere match heads also contain red phosphorus. In safety matches, the phosphorus is in the striker strip.

    Yes they did explode when made right but there was a distict reason black powder was made of multiple components.
    Sulphur alone (in that short of a barrel especially) cannot generate enough energy to do what was done in the video. The wick touchhole in proportion to the barrel...

    No way.
    No chance.
    I grew up bliwing enough shit up I know ots impossible.

    The paper might have bonced off of the can but most of the energy would have escaped at the touch hole.

    Promise

    And the dude was not using the strike anywhere.
    He was using standard shit that is not capable of anything close.

    You couldnt do it with black or smokeless powder either.

    Not with those barrel proportions.

    You would be had pressed to get plastic explosive to do that.

    Also if you watch close it gies of and doesnt even expel the paper.
    Then someone shoots it.
