The only difference is that the combustion event in an ICE is subsonic (deflagration) while the combustion in a gun is supersonic (detonation).

So what you're saying is there's a fundamental difference between the two?

Yes, there are differences. That's why one is called deflagration and the other is called detonation. Good job, you can read. But the chemical and thermodynamic processes are identical, and that's what you seem to misunderstand.

Dude, you're being a pedant in the comments of a Harry Potter shitpost.
