Also saltpeter and diamonds, and a giant bamboo stalk to stuff it all into

Yeah, the saltpeter (potassium nitrate) is really the key ingredient here. It's the rapid oxidizer compound that gives your anti-Gorn cannon its boom boom. Without that, mixing all the other stuff together is just going to be smelly and disappointing.
