The last I read we are told not to cluster FirstFire igniters.  Why is

igniters different from Aerotech's Copperhead or FirstFires?  Is a bridge
wire igniter a low explosive when the same composition used ...

I am slighlty confused. which is not unusal for me.  anyway I have a
question:
If the court decides in our favor that APCP is not an explosive, how
does/will that effect the 62.5 g nprm 968 final rule due to go into effect
