According to the maps Ive had a look at theres only 1 B road...
The energetic materials used by Department of Defense munitions produce an exothermic reaction defined either as a deflagration or a detonation. A deflagration is an exothermic reaction that propagates from the burning gases to the unreacted material by conduction, convection, and radiation. In this process, the combustion zone progresses through the material at a rate that is less than the velocity of sound in the unreacted material.

Deflagration
Deflagration is a process of subsonic combustion that usually propagates through thermoconductivity (hot burning material heats next layer of cold material and ignites it). Deflagration is different from detonation which is supersonic and propagates through shock compression.

Yeah thats pretty much what everything says about deflagration, I suppose its something to do with the way either the gunpowder or the warhead in the shells explode. Thats the only way I can see it being related to firearms.
I font know what ATSG stands for but maybe the Army Technology Seminar Game in this link is correct?
