Certainly there's an advantage to exposing the powder charge directly to the cap's blast -- response time. A burn through of the paper takes time, combustible or not. If you want to see an extreme example of this, take a flintlock and fill the pan clear up over the top of the vent like they do in the movies. FFFFFFFFFFFFT----------BOOM. :grin:
