RDX isn't that stable. Surprised they didn't use PETN. Still an interestingly designed bomb. This is from a Chem MSc grad before a black Vectra pulls up outside my door. Biggest bang I've ever heard was when some idiot put H202 into the waste organic jar. Not a great idea. Took out most of the tiles in the fume cupboard. I'd assume you'd class that as a detonation.
