Well I worked in a fertilizer plant for a number of years and read an accident report that occured in a plant that was caused by a front end loader that had been leaking hydrolic fluid and left a trail 30 feet long one foot wide and a quarter of an inch thick of amonium nitrate and hydrolic fluid. that night a fire broke out in the storage facility and by accident one of the conveyors rollers was replaced with a non vented roller. When the fire was hot enough to rupture the roller the shock wave set off the AN and hydrolic fluid causing pieces of the loader to land one quarter of a mile away. Now that is some unstable stuff. In molten form it looks like there is something alive inside of a beaker of it as the semi chrystaline structure is constantly changing as it cools.

Forgive my ignorance, I never tried hitting flammable liquids with a hammer, but what did you expect to happen? And what flammable liquids would ignite when hit with a hammer (assuming no spark is produced by the metal to metal contact, only percussion without a container)?
I'd read that it would explode - something like a cap gun. This was assuming the stuff acted more as an explosive, than as a flammable liquid.
