    The is a difference between deflagration (what guns do) and detonation. Gunpowder Deflagrates.

    Deflagration is basically a fast burn of combustible material. A black powder pipe-bomb deflagrates.

    Detonation is a supersonic shock via chemical reaction. C4 explodes via shock caused by a detonator.
