Would it not explode the brass?

Brass is so maliable more often than not the brass stays as one piece with just a split in it. The escaping gas accelerates the casing to maybe throwing speeds, or less.

Often the brass doesn't split or deform. Throwing ammo in campfires to startle people has been done by and around me many times. Improvised firecrackers.
