Handi det cord or det cord burns at around 28,000 ftps ,it really doesn't burn it's just fast explosion that occurs in side some poly type of tube that sets off the detonator .A 209 muzzeloading primer is put in bolt like deal with the cord touching the end of the primer and when the firing pin hits the primer you can't stop it, it's fast ,9 times faster the 7mm at 3000 fps.So a projectile at 22000fps is moving.I watched video's with some corps that show us in slow motion the burn rate of there products and it's just a mist in mid air.
