I once heard ( second-hand but from two usually reliable sources) about an intrepid, young, slightly intoxicated individual who put a full-house 10 gauge shot gun shell in a flare pistol of the same chambering, cocked the hammer, and pulled the trigger. The pistol DID fire; it DID NOT explode. Pretty much the entire upper right quadrant of the shooter did "explode" - severely torn hand ligaments / tendons / etc., broken hand, wrist, and arm bones, dislocated shoulder.
Big Bang / Small package, if taken to extremes, becomes just as dangerous to the shooter as the shot.
