You can make your own.  I have a friend who bought a 10-gauge shotgun 
shell reloading press to assemble really big M-100's from a kit.  He 
says dead fish float to the surface when they throw them overboard.  
I'll probably see him on the Darwin list sometime.  When I was 12 or so 
we would make our own black powder (ingredients bought from the local 
drugstore...Ahmm, son may I ask what you want this for?), and fill two 
hemispheres of a plunger taped together.  The blast effect actually 
broke a window or two.  Somehow we lived through it.
