Sky Zero,

Unburnt powder particles can look shiny if they are covered in oil or when you shine a bright light on them. Powder particles are round or semi-round flattened spheres, often very small. Powder particles would not be in the shape of strips, or rectangles. My guess is that most of what your seeing is powder particles, with probably some real brass particles thrown in too...
