I don't think it would have any measurable effect. Gunpowder (both black and smokeless varieties) does not need ambient oxygen to ignite. Guns can fire even under water or in vacuum as the oxidizer is already part of the powder. I doubt the tiny amount of air in the case, even if it was composed of 100% O2 would not have a significant effect on combustion of the powder.
