1 gram is 15.4 grains of gunpowder. If detonated inside of, say, an empty paint can with the lid on, it will blow the lid off the can, but probably will not destroy the can itself. 15 grains is about the amount of powder in three .38 Special pistol cartridges.

The amount of force generated by 1 gram of gunpowder can vary depending on various factors such as the type of gunpowder used, the firearm it is being used in, and the specific circumstances of its ignition. However, on average, 1 gram of gunpowder can produce a force equivalent to roughly 25-30 Newtons of force when ignited in a controlled setting.
