Also harkening back to high school chemistry, isn't potassium kept in oil to
keep it from igniting upon contact with the air?

I believe you're thinking of Sodium, nasty stuff especially when dropped in
a bucket of water.

Just think of it.  Glass shotgun shells fill with oil and pure potasium as
the shot.  They do shotgun damage going in and either continue burning or do
burn damage when removed. heh heh heh.

>>The glass cartridge would shatter, causing the explosive to ignite
prematurely and in all likelihood cause a backfire. Not recommended.
