"Explosives" means any chemical compound or mechanical mixture that is
commonly used or intended for the purpose of producing an explosion, and
which contains any oxidizing and combustive units or other ingredients in
such proportions, quantities, or packing that an ignition by fire, by
friction, by concussion, by percussion, or by detonator of any part of the
compound or mixture may cause such a sudden generation of highly heated
gases that the resultant gaseous pressures are capable of producing
destructive effects on contiguous objects or of destroying life or limb.
