But almost anything else can set it off. Heat, compression, shock, fire are the common igniters.

I'd take shock and compression out of there, unless they produce the heat/fire to set off BP. Some think that static electricity will set off BP as well, but only if it produces heat while passing though something other than BP. BP conducts electricity because of all the carbon in it, and will not get hot by static electricity.

There really is no point in doing this. As was pointed out in another recent similar thread, you may also be in violation of ATF regs and laws for manufacturing explosives and/or bombs.
Bad idea all the way around.

That's ur opinion. There's a point in doing this if he feels like it. It's an experiment, perhaps in survival. There's no need to hunt either, or shoot black powder firearms. Most of us do these things because we like to, or want to. Also, I haven't seen a legal precedent where someone was found to be violating law by making small batches of black powder for use in antique/reproduction firearms. Now, if there's proof that the intent was to make bombs, that's another story.
