>>we took the roll of caps, put each little piece of powder on the sidewalk, and struck it with a big rock....<<

I think there was about five rolls of caps to a box, and about fifty caps to a roll. You could explode an entire roll at once by laying it sideways on the sidewalk and ramming straight down on it with a vertical softball bat. As a firecracker substitute on the 4th of July, I would line up the rolls on the sidewalk and fire them off in rapid succession. Fifty caps going off at once makes a hell of a bang, and a lot of gunsmoke wafting on the breeze!
