Can't find any {{cite web}}s for article. Most informative google result seems to be this here.

"I missed the start of this thread, but it sounds as if someone is confusing fulminating silver with silver fulminate. The two are chemically quite different, apart from containing Ag and N. Silver fulminate is an exact ionic compound of the silver ion and fulminate (ONC)- ion, which is a very sensitive primary explosive. Fulminating silver is the stuff that precipitates from Tollen's reagent if allowed to stand long enough. It is an imprecise mixture of azides, ammine complexes, nitrates etc and is even more sensitive than silver fulminate. Fulminating compounds are known for several of the precious metals, and were actually the first high explosives discovered, back in the days of alchemy, but are so unstable (and expensive) they have never had any practical use."
