What are cap gun caps made from?
Cap gun caps also know as cap gun ammo is usually made from what know as Armstrong's mixture,
Its primary ingredients are red phosphorus and strong oxidizer, such as potassium chlorate and potassium perchlorate.
Sulfur is used to substitute for some or all of the phosphorus to slightly decrease sensitivity and lower costs; calcium carbonate may also be present in small proportions.
Commercially, Armstrong's mixture is used in milligram quantities on the paper caps in toy cap guns and in party poppers.
The tiny powder charge is sandwiched between two paper layers which hold in the gases long enough to give a bang sound when the cap is struck.
