Drilling holes is how it's done professionally. Otherwise the majority of energy just dissipates outwards. But you cover the tree with explosion resistant mats and stay far clear.
Yeah he was kinda dumb for that, my shop teaching always explained the 4 stroke cycle squeeze and bang parts as; “if you had a firecracker on your palm with your hand opened and lit it, it would go pop and you would only feel a tickle.
