Here's another with 1/400 shutter in manual camera mode. No motion blur to speak of.
It appears closer to the table top implying faster response.

Interesting result. Smaller difference that I'd have expected....

I don't think, what is likely a small Firecracker, tips the danger meter for anyone who shot of countless numbers of them as kids! Trains, on the other hand can be a fatal problem unless you know exactly what you are doing.

SonyDog this reminds of a small photo project I undertook during a Photography class in the mid 70's as a tech elective while studying engineering. my self made & professor approved assignment was to capture the muzzle blast of a 44 mag handgun, using a Minolta SRT 201 B&W, film as I recall asa400.... what was that tri x or plus x??
trust me it took ,during daytime, many many attempts. I mean several rolls of film, back to lab to find failure... try again .... repeat , repeat....
the final positive result was done by the following & we took 4 images
Photo done at Night, with out saying in a place (aka gravel pit)
aperture was "small" for DOF
shutter on "BULB"
we did use a small flash
focus was ... with out saying , manual accomplished using flashlight,
timing was as follows
shooter of gun ready , when you hear the shutter open or see flash ..fire gun
release shutter ,
move camera angle for next & re-do
Each photo came out .....
I wish I still had the images..... image captured flash one of which , we never realized.... gun was a revolver... so there wash flash or blast from 2 places..... head space between cylinder & barrel..... and at muzzle..... muzzle was about 2 feet long ....
good luck with your project

I wouldn’t do it, especially indoors! I doubt it would be worth the effort and potential danger. If you pursue it be sure to wear good eye and hearing protection and be ready in case of a fire. Fire extinguisher a very good idea as well as a quick escape plan. Much could go wrong with this in my opinion.
