Depends on if you contain the reaction though... You have to allow the reaction compression, therwise you're right, it sizzles instead of exploding.

Do you mean conatining the pressure to allow it to fire something? I agree with that, but the residue is more of a problem. Although you can minimize it with finely ground gunpowder, it is a devil to clean off. And, even if FIRST said that the gunpowder wasn't a safety violation, it would still be outlawed due to its smoke interfering with the CMUcam.
