Something like that could lead to paintball cannons that work using a shell much like real cannons. I can't picture it being cheap to operate though and the development costs would be pretty high too.
The thing I'd be concerned about using some sort of chemical reaction based system would be it's consistency. Although I would think that most contaminents would decrease such a systems reaction and lower the velocity, there's a chance the opposite could occur.
I guess it would depend on who was building it. Someone like Ford or Chevy whipping out hundreds of thousands of air bag cartridges would have much better quality control than say one of us making paintball cannon cartridges in the basement.
