black powder vs gun powder 

Gotta love how you realized where the can of HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE black powder was AFTER you lit the smokeless powder off right next to it.

You literally made a fire in front of the “Danger! Explosive” warning, like I took a picture of the sign “do not take pictures” only that yours is worse, but again, if you can successfully upload this to youtube chances are they did not explode.

DO NOT BURN POWDER ANYWHERE NEAR THE MAIN CONTAINER.

Smokeless burns cleaner =healthier for the gun =less pollution Smokeless creates more gas =Higher power =Less needed

I see one issue with going too strictly black powder. Rifles like the ar15 with a gas inpigment system would get messed up quick. I have considered Black powder for revolvers, bolt guns, pump shotguns and simple semi auto handguns like a 1911 but I d never for a semi auto rifle.

Black powder usually has very poor ballistic performance when used in smokeless powder designed rounds like .223 and .308. It just can't get the same velocity as smokeless powder. Also it absolutely will not cycle a gas impingement system gun, and usually doesn't work too well on recoil operated guns. I like black powder in rounds designed for it like .50-70 and .45-70 though. You just have to be sure to get your gun clean or you'll damage the bore because its corrosive.

Yeah, man. What other people said. There's a difference between deflagration and detonation. One advantage of BP is that a simple spark can ignite it. The sensitivity that makes it good for fireworks and flintlocks also makes it a bit more dangerous to store and handle. The primers on modern cartridges are high explosives, which causes the nitrocellulose to detonate. We might say smokeless powder burns, but it actually breaks down differently at the molecular level. Did you notice the difference in the smell of the smokeless as opposed to how it smells after being fired? That's because different byproducts are being produced. In short, you're right. Traditional black powder is very useful and versatile. If you have a 12 gauge, a 45-70, and a .45 colt, you're fine with FFG and FFFG. But if there really were a SHTF situation, you might not want to have a huge cloud of smoke, unless you plan to stick and move. Pump action, lever action, and revolvers are OK if you clean them as soon as you're done shooting. But, if you need to fire more than 25 rounds without cleaning, your stuff is going to be so filthy with residue that you may have some major technical problems at the wrong time.

The metallurgy in a black powder rifle cannot handle the high pressures of modern gun powder. That is why it will blow up. Even modern rifles will blow apart with too much gun powder. Exceeding chamber and port pressures can make for a bad day. Always follow reloading instructions for the round and caliber you are using. Black powder is an explosive while modern gun powder is a propellent. Modern powder is safer to handle and store than black powder. As always pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense.

I had thoughts about the containers, but still, I could not ask for a simpler explanation....I'm looking for a fireworks powder and it's now obvious, as to which would be best....Thanks.

Thank You ❤️ do you know if the smokeless powder is found in cosmetics 💄?

The more f’s the finer the grains. And there’s fa, which is used in blasting, fb which i forget, and fg which is a sporting goods powders.

The diffences happens wenn smokeless or nitro powder is compressed it develops gasses and the more compressed the more gasses and the more rapidly it creates gasses,u can reach much much higher projectile speeds with smokeless (in a none compressed stage it burns very slow but compresses it gets really dangerous) ure video is not completely accurate cause black powder makes the complete gun dirty as hell creates loads of smoke and doesnt have as much umpf as a nitro round loaded with less smokeless powder.....I am not a fan of black powder its a hell of work to clean and the performance in a shotgun isnt as good as smokeless...

We're can I get black powder

Don't people normally call black powder gunpowder?

Smokeless has far more energy just like ampho vs dynamite. One is slower but has far more energy! So for something that can take smokeless than yes it’s much better. It will push any projectile much further. There’s a reason why the insurgents in the Middle East and other countries use smokeless or artillery rounds instead of just making black powder. More power and a way bigger push. That flash doesn’t equate out to more energy it’s just a quicker reaction and more photons. But the actually newtons that are put off by that explosion are so much greater with smokeless powder that is why today almost every single round is made out of that! And yes if you put the same amount of smokeless powder and your black powder rifle you probably will end up creating a pipe bomb which is not a good idea because you will kill yourself… Just like you said it is that much more powerful. So that’s why it’s a little bit more expensive… You may not need as many grains! Yes I simple burn test will look really cool with black powder but you want that push. That slower release Of More energy.

Can i use black powder fo 9mm?

Cas everyone has black powder rifles to day

do not listen to this man
