Can someone give me a link of an animation of a primer strike and powder ignition or the gas cycle. I am giving a demonstration of the science of a cartridge. I am explaining differnet powder burn rates with demonstrations and need to give some background on the physics of the ignition process. If anyone has any good web sites or info that I could use I would really appreicate it!

Edit: I need some info why poweders burn at different rates. I have 3 powders for comparison. Red dot, H335, Cordite. I would like to explain why each of them burns at different rates. Is the burn rate determined only by the chemical composition of the poweder or does the physical size and shape of the powder affect the burn rate also? I was getting a little side tracked in my research trying to find an animation that I forgot the most important basis of my paper.
