A simple way to show that the "squibs" are definitely NOT explosive charges.
First, have a look at said "squib":

Key characteristics: continuous and intensifying over time.
Now, the hypothesis is that these "squibs" are explosive charges. So, for comparison, we will need an ACTUAL explosive charge. And, the blast will have to be coming out of a confined space, the same way that the "squib" was coming out of a small window. Hmmm, where can we find something like this?
Aha! A civil war replica!

Key characteristics: instantaneous. There is no intensification over time, as with the "squib", because the entire burst takes place over a split second. It's also quite LOUD.
Squibs =/= explosive charges. There we go.
Really, I just wanted an excuse to post a video of a cool civil war replica. But, it works just as well for debunking stupidity.
