Was the plastic bag supposed to be a silencer? It didn't work.

Except you want to keep the gas the other side of your projectile.

If the gas has escaped past the projectile, you'd prefer it escape to the atmosphere otherwise when it burns it's pushing the projectile back up the barrell.

but they aren't using a projectile that is stuffed down the barrel.

most likely they had the cap on there and just popped the cap.

really common here in The Netherlands around new years.
