Back when I started trying to learn pyrotechnics, I made small quantities of various chlorate compositions- AND HIT THEM, STEEL ON STEEL to get a feel
for just HOW sensitive they were. Which was mostly QUITE a bit more sensitive than I cared for, especially if stars were primed with black powder or
any chlorate mixtures contained a sulfide, such as antimony sulfide (torpedo mix) or, god forbid, Arsenic sulfide (red hand remover mix)
Later, I did the same with perchlorate (and other) compositions. And found that perchlorate comps, if including metal fuels, sulfer or sulfides were
ALSO fairly easy to set off, though mostly at the high end of the range I'd experienced with the chlorate compositions. Nitrate mixes were generally
lower impact yet, then there were a few surprises such as crackle mixtures with heavy metal oxides being a lot more sensitive than expected- And some
strobe compositions with sulfate oxidizers being quite snappy too
If you MUST reinvent this wheel, do it to learn something rather than be kewlish and just make big bangs. Fabricate a drop tester perhaps, take and
report some impact data. Get some different surface materials and fab up a friction shoe tester, get (relative) friction sensitivity data.
I don't like to detritus threads for lack of scientific merit... So show something is being researched/learned? Search rather than ask for spoon
feeding? Do something beyond discussion of making "kewlbomz"?

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

You need to practice walking for a while longer before you try to run, let alone fly. And learn to think carefully about what you are doing and how to
deal with ALL the possible consequences.
Having seen what Microtek and a few others got up to before they could have legally bought a drink or a pack of smokes in USA, I am not saying it's
impossible.
But I also recall a kid who called himself fone, before he made a large batch of explosives and accidentally killed himself.
And Myfanwy, another kid about your present age who made phosgene without a fume hood or sufficient protective gear. It took him about a week of very
bad days to die.

yeah, I try to take the most precautions and I NEVER work with any toxic gasses inside, only outside with a gas mask because I hate toxic gasses 
I also don't make enough explosives to kill myself 
I have everything to make tetrazoles except for guanidine nitrate. I probably give it a go in a year or two when I get some guanidine nitrate.
I will take everything you said to heart
