The Law Commissioner must have plenty of fascinating briefs of this sort:

The gunpowder used for pyrotechnics also does not actually explode but instead burns very rapidly, just like smokeless powder in ammunition, a phenomenon known as deflagration.

Both materials produce relatively slow and controlled “explosions” fit for the purposes for which they are normally used.

The important difference is that smokeless powders produce less smoke and leave less deposits (and therefore less fouling on the gun barrel and triggering mechanism) on burning than does black powder.

The distinction you are referring to is between deflagration and detonation, the latter being supersonic and propagates through shock. Detonation is exhibited by high explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, commonly known as TNT.

In reply to Francis Saliba MD. Totally agree. In Canadian naval terms, the 'Cock of the Walk' is required to walk a very fine line in order to retain the title.

Half the logical fallacies are employed there.

I know that Saint Rita is the patron saint of the impossible , but she’s got competition from our multitasking Law Commissioner.

I understand that the Rabat man who has been arraigned owns a gun-shop.

Some gun enthusiasts refer to make their own bullets, therefore it could be possible that the Rabat man had the necessary permits/papers.

Nevertheless, the sudden increase in demand for raw materials would have been expected to raise a red flag, and it seems that it did.
