Rapid, but not explosive (i.e., < 3300 feet per second) self-sustaining combustion in explosive materials, especially low explosives such as black gunpowder and desensitized smokeless powder
Rapid, but not explosive (i.e., subsonic) self-sustaining combustion in explosive materials, especially low explosives such as black gunpowder and desensitized smokeless powder; the combustion wave propagates by thermal conduction; can produce explosion if confined but is more likely to produce controllable gases
