As an explosive, it does miniscule damage - way less than 1d-5 by the calculations given in the Basic Set, and that's assuming it uses Black Powder when they actually use Flash Powder, which as far as I can tell is even less dangerous.

Support for this head-splattering claim? Analogy between tin can flying into the air and a skull being reduced to an expanding cloud is extremely non-obvious.
Also, I infer from your statements that you consider x12 grossly inadequate, and want something more like x60, or a no-roll death rule? Since x12 is pretty much never going to give you the head-disintegrating effects from less than one point of damage that you want.
