im sure everyone has seen sticks on dynamite in movies and history documentaries. they even used it in myth-busters a few times i think, but how much force would it really take to set it off?

Dynamite original was saw dust soaked in nitroglycerin and although much more stable than pure NG was still moderately sensitive to shock. Modern dynamite is usually much more stable and can resist alot of shock. I wouldn’t go shooting it or smacking it with a hammer but there’s a pretty good chance you’d still be safe
