Here is a little thing that can sometimes happen when you have a gunpowder barrel harpooned.
Gunpowder Barrel Harpoon Bug or working as intended?
The items on the ends of a harpoon can collide with the railings, which, in the case of a gunpowder barrel (railings are part of the hull) causes them to explode. Barrels O Plenty have a collision sound which you can get to repeatedly play with the same concept.
@ultmateragnarok
If that is true it still doesn't explain how I can clip the barrel through the railing and nothing happens as shown in the video.The barrel on the harpoon is counted as being free, not locked to the island or ship as it is not placed. A keg on an island or ship does not explode on contact with another ship's hull, but those in the sea or on harpoons do. The hitboxes are also a bit difficult sometimes.

Oooh, because the keg hitbox comes into contact with the hitbox of your ships hull... HAH, that's kinda funny. :D
One more tidbit of knowledge to add to my pirate tactics arsenal. :3
