Following John's advice by trying a 5mm cap rather than 7mm proved worthwhile. The smaller cap makes a noticeably louder BANG which can't be heard as well on the video. A very small amount of Magnesium powder poured into the cartridge's vent hole and sealed in with a smear of silicone grease creates a decent Flash that the Video doesn't capture fully
