To get an idea of what goes on around a revolver; B/p or modern, check out the night firings on Youtube. I first realized the extent of the combustable gases when I was shooting late on evening during a humid summer evening and the ignition was injuring or killing the multitude of mosquitoes that were gathering on my bare forearms. The table I was firing over looked like I had spilled b/p over it til I noticed that some of the flecks were still moving.
