Dynamite doesn't use gunpowder. There were a few different compositions. Some used nitroglycerin with an absorbent material (such as kieselguhr or sawdust), and some compositions used ammonium nitrate. In both cases, they were extremely unstable and dangerous to manufacture, which is why dynamite has more of less been phased out in favour of other alternatives.
Yes. It is a important component of "black powder" that is used in dynamite, gun ammunition (gun powder) and fireworks.
Black powder, or a black powder substitute such as Pyrodex. Smokeless powder (modern gun powder) should not be used in a traditional muzzle loading firearm.
Know Your Muzzleloader. Primitive hunting arms include the muzzleloader ... Black powder is the onlytype of powder that should be used in muzzleloaders
Black powder <><><> At the time of the American revolution, the only gunpowder in existence was black powder- a mix of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpetre. Other gun powders (smokeless, cordite, etc) were invented in the late 1800s.
The only kind of powder that should be used in a muzzleloader is black powder or a black powder substitute specifically designed for muzzleloading. Regular smokeless powder is not safe for use in muzzleloaders, as it can lead to dangerous overpressure situations. Black powder provides the necessary characteristics for safe and effective ignition and projectile propulsion in these firearms. Always ensure to follow manufacturer recommendations and safety guidelines when using any type of powder.
Black Powder.
First we must understand that there are two distinct chemical types of "gunpowder". The first is commonly referred to as Black Powder and is considered an explosive, and the 2nd is most commonly referred to as Smokeless Powder and while similar in reaction to black powder is considered a propellant. Aside from it's use in firearms, black powder historically was used as an explosive in mining and construction. But in modern times its use in these industries has been supplanted by modern, more effective and more stable explosives such as dynamite, and ANFO, or ammonium nitrate fuel oil combinations. Black Powder is still used in some pyrotechnics and is commonly used in "blank' cartridge production for movies and in the entertainment industry. Smokeless powder has very few uses outside of propelling projectiles in firearms. It is engineered to have limited explosive properties and is very specifically tailored to use in firearms.

One benefit of dynamite is that if used properly, it is a type of explosive that can be controlled. Its shape is also a benefit.
Either FFFg black powder or Pyrodex P may be used.
Muzzleloaders typically use black powder or smokeless powder as propellant. Black powder is a traditional choice, made from a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, offering a characteristic smoky discharge. Smokeless powder, while less common in traditional muzzleloading, is sometimes used in modern muzzleloaders designed for it due to its higher efficiency and lower residue. Always ensure that the appropriate type of powder is used for your specific muzzleloader model.
The only thing baby powder will do for any hair type is absorb oil from the hair and scalp. It can be used as a dry shampoo.
