The principal components may be nitrocellulose, nitroglycerine or nitroguanidine.
Do not attempt to do load with smokeless powder.
There are approximately 15,432 grains in a gram of smokeless powder.
Black powder is much weaker than smokeless powder. Smokeless powder, for this reason, once invented(much after black powder), replaced black powder in guns. However, black powder is still used in fireworks because the extreme explosive power of smokeless powder would prove too dangerous in fireworks.
Approximately 7,000 grains of smokeless powder are in 1 pound.
there are several typed of powder the most common are black powder and smokeless powder. black powder is very corrosive and burns slower com paired to smokeless and just by the name there acepinaly more smoke were as smokeless gun powder is stronger and faster and cleaner.
When using a muzzle loading gun it is important to ensure that it can handle modern smokeless powder because of the greater amount of force produced by smokeless powder as opposed to using the black powder that the muzzle loader was intended for.
Pour poudre vives means it was made for smokeless powder (not for black powder, in other words it was made after smokeless powder came into common use).
No. In general you should never use smokeless powder in a firearm designed specifically for black powder. To do so may be very dangerous. If in doubt, have the gun inspected by a qualified gunsmith and only fire smokeless powder in the gun if a properly qualified gunsmith tells you it is safe to do so.
Using smokeless powder in a muzzleloader designed for black powder can cause serious injury or death due to the higher pressure and faster burn rate of the smokeless powder. It can lead to catastrophic failure of the firearm. It is important to always use the type of powder recommended by the manufacturer for your specific muzzleloader.
It is crucial to ensure that your muzzleloader can handle modern smokeless powder because using the wrong type of propellant can lead to dangerous malfunctions, such as blowouts or explosions. Traditional black powder and smokeless powder have different combustion characteristics and pressure levels; smokeless powder generates significantly higher pressures. Muzzleloaders not designed for smokeless powder may not withstand these pressures, posing serious safety risks to the shooter and bystanders. Always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines before using any modern propellants.
Fireworks and Gun Powder was invented in the 9th century. it was invented by Li Tian.
what little smoke that is generated by smokeless powder cartridge,s,hence the name smokeless powder does not effect the ozone.
