It was probably a homemade mixture, some crappy off brand or a small, slow caliber not powerful enough to cause ignition.

Could have been any of those things, or just that the shooter didn't properly mix the ingredients. Mine said to mix thoroughly until all the ammonium nitrate granules were evenly coated with aluminum. I did, went BOOM as advertised (when I actually hit it, that is).

Violence is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and valorous feeling which believes that nothing is worth violence is much worse.
