The biggest bang I was ever able to make... bigger than a lot of high explosives, is this:

In a 2L pop bottle, mix a little chlorine bleach and hydrogen peroxide. This produces oxygen. Then drop a few small bits of calcium carbide into it and screw the cap on fast. When mixed with water, calcium carbide produces acetylene gas. You now have an oxygen / acetylene mix under considerable pressure. Shoot the bottle with a .22 or have a fuse very tightly sealed on the bottle. A model rocket igniter siliconed into the cap would probably work nice too. It's quite safe when it blows (keep your distance), but holy crap it's loud!
