the fuse was almost as large as the charge or the wadding /projectile.
the video would have been more convincing had they not stopped and reset the camera right at the time of the shot

Uh huh, ......... here mousy, mousy ........ BOOM (insert GOTCHA! icon here)


I'm betting that there were 2 tries on that video, the first one the guy forgot to put in the "ammo" and the mashed match head simply burned off and smoked.
