We seriously need to consult with the artillery shell manufacturers. They know all about that fuse initiation stuff, flame propagation delays, and the sort.

Max effect with with a tuned nozzle, such as used by the Aro-tek(?) Hybrid compensator with its row of ports starting about mid-barrel. The NASA guys and gals can help us with that one.

I doubt that ignition mid-barrel would spike pressure enough to cause damage. The peak occurs within the first two inches of bullet travel and RAPIDLY drops off after that.
