I know little of explosives, but were I asked to make something
suitable, I'd drill a hole in some high-explosive, fill it with
gunpowder, embed a filament in the gunpowder and encase the whole thing
in steel.

Nope. Gunpowder is insufficiently brisant for this purpose. Nowhere
near in fact.

So, gunpowder igniting in a steel casing would do nothing. Twat.
Excuse me? You said you'd "drill a hole in some high explosive" and
use your gunpowder and filament idea to set it off. I will NOT work.
You will never set-off a practical high explosive with gunpowder. It
burns far too slowly. You have to generatate a short, sharp shock
using something like mercury fulminate which has the necessary
brisance.

It's in a steel housing, as stated. I'm fully prepared to accept that
the high temperature and pressure generated by the gunpowder may not set
off the high explosive.

I'm not prepared to accept that it will do 'nothing' as you said. I
hoped against hope that you might have some special knowledge in this
area. I should have known better.
When I said it would do nothing I meant your idea of using gunpowder
to set off a high explosive. It will NOT work. You might set the
gunpowder off, but that's about all.
Now I have no idea why you're asking about this but I'm getting
uncomfortable with your line of questioning. For all we know you might
be planning some kind of terror attack so I have nothing further to
say on this subject. I will not be baited into divulging such info in
a public forum.
