well I wouldn't say its not dangerous... you are still unleashing >500J of energy, your not gonna launch the bullets anywhere near muzzle velocity (and therefore a small fraction of muzzle energy) but this will still send the bullet and case (and hot ash) flying at lower speeds, which might still be capable of injuring you. I mean its probably the equivalent of throwing bottle rockets or some other firecrackers in your fireplace.
sorry I got it off topic, but Bill O'Rights stole my witty reply and I wanted to be funny too :/
