Match-heads light from friction. They could ignite while loading them if you packed them in too hard or ignite on their own at any time from rubbing against each other if you packed them in too loose.

If you want fire and such, you probably want to stick with the "dragon's breath" rounds. They are expensive and only somewhat entertaining, but they will probably not blow up before you pull the trigger.

Flechettes don't work worth a damn. The ones loaded backwards never stabilize, and even the ones loaded point-forward are too light to penetrate much. Also, unless the fins are perfectly formed (and they almost never are), they don't fly straight.

Save yourself a lot of headaches and avoid both ideas.
