This material is not explosive, and is not a true silver nitride. Silver nitride (CAS NO.20737-02-4) is used to coat mirrors and shotguns.
Silver nitride (CAS NO.20737-02-4) is formed when silver oxide or silver nitrate is dissolved in concentrated solutions of ammonia, causing formation of a silver-amide or imide complex which subsequently breaks down to Ag3N.
Silver and its compounds are on the Community Right-To-Know List.

Silver nitride , its cas register number is 20737-02-4. It is an explosive chemical compound, and was formerly referred to as fulminating silver, but this can cause confusion with silver fulminate, or silver azide. The fulminate and azide compounds do not form from ammoniacal solutions of Ag2O.
