  2. Bulk loaded liquid propellants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_loaded_liquid_propellants

    Bulk loaded liquid propellants are an artillery technology that was pursued at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and U.S. Naval Weapons Center from the 1950s through the 1990s. The advantages would be simpler guns and a wider range of tactical and logistic options.

  3. Improved military rifle powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved_military_rifle_powder

    Propellants packaged in small sheet metal canisters for sale to civilians were labeled Military Rifle Powder to distinguish the product from low-density "bulk" propellants intended to react at lower pressures in shotguns or pistols and from Sporting Rifle Powder for early lever-action rifles unable to withstand the pressures of 20th-century ...

  4. Firearm propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_propellant

    Firearm propellants are a specialized type of propellant used to discharge a projectile (typically a bullet, slug, or pellets) through the barrel of a firearm. Mixtures of different chemical substances are often used to control the rate of gas release, or prevent decomposition of the propellant prior to use.

  6. Smokeless powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_powder

    The released heat, in case of bulk storage of the powder, or too large blocks of solid propellant, can cause self-ignition of the material. Single-base nitrocellulose propellants are hygroscopic and most susceptible to degradation; double-base and triple-base propellants tend to deteriorate more slowly.

  7. Liquid rocket propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rocket_propellant

    Konstantin Tsiolkovsky proposed the use of liquid propellants in 1903, in his article Exploration of Outer Space by Means of Rocket Devices. [3] [4] On March 16, 1926, Robert H. Goddard used liquid oxygen (LOX) and gasoline as propellants for his first partially successful liquid-propellant rocket launch. Both propellants are readily available ...

  8. Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate...

    Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) is a solid rocket propellant.It differs from many traditional solid rocket propellants such as black powder or zinc-sulfur, not only in chemical composition and overall performance but also by being cast into shape, as opposed to powder pressing as with black powder.

  9. Nitrous oxide fuel blend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide_fuel_blend

    Nitrous oxide fuel blend propellants are a class of liquid rocket propellants that were intended in the early 2010s to be able to replace hydrazine as the standard storable rocket propellent in some applications. In nitrous-oxide fuel blends, the fuel and oxidizer are blended and stored; this is sometimes referred to as a mixed monopropellant.
