They do not, I have used marbles for the last couple of years of my pyrotechnics and it has never sparked, it's glass, so it is impossible to spark. The only downer is when I wash it with sodium hydroxide it shrink. My marbles have loss 5 mm of glass from being washed
@9DragonMaster You will have to melt it in smaller pieces. I advise caution as during the method toxic gases are generated. My further advice is not to use pure lead balls because they wear pretty quick. You should alloy it with a harder metal and make balls by making plaster mould first. OR spill the molten lead into ~1,5cm diameter, ~1,5cm length copper tubes (no need to alloy this time). I use the latter. And again: DO NOT INHALE GASES DURING THE MELTING!
@9DragonMaster Why would you granulate before? that would be pointless, because granulating makes it into small chunks, and ball milling crushes it to a Powdered sugar consistency...
@IamSunnyD i dont know, but some people do stuff like that, double the process. I thought that the alchohol somehow made it more homogeous, therefore repeating the process making it better. Just because i can, and this hobbie is really cheap for me, i plan on doing very specific testing with calculated results.
I've focused on things to make better projects, since BP is eZ 2 make,the construction, wheat paste, stuff like craft paper , tapes, glue sticks, gloves, buckets, strainers pvc, etc
dude i put the balls in my ball mill then powder in the ballmill , and it's only 1 part balls and 1 part powder plus i only ball mill it like 5 mins (by hand) and i have great bp (super fast )

YOU CAN GET THEM ON EBAY BUT IT IS EASY TO MAKE ONE THE BEST THING TO DO IS GOOGLE HOW TO MAKE A BALL MILL OR YOU CAN USE A ROCK TUMBLER I HAVE GOT A OLD
National Geographic : Rock Tumbler / Stone Polisher IT DOES DLACK POWDER BUT IT TAKES LONGER AFTER ALL BALL MILLS ARE ROCK TUMBLERS CHECH OUT manchester minerals
