  2. Black powder substitute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_powder_substitute

    For example, because Pyrodex, a common black powder substitute, is less dense than black powder, a measurement by weight on a scale of 60 grains of mass of Pyrodex would be near a 30 percent overload. Volume equivalence is a benefit in loading muzzleloading firearms, traditionally loaded using volumetric measures.

  3. Wax bullet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_bullet

    [3] [4] Higher velocities may be obtained using special cartridges drilled out to accept shotgun primers, which provide higher velocities, and some fast draw competitions allow the use of a small amount of black powder or black powder substitute to provide higher velocities for certain events. Commercially produced wax bullets are also ...

  4. Cordite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordite

    Cordite is a family of smokeless propellants developed and produced in Britain since 1889 to replace black powder as a military firearm propellant. Like modern gunpowder, cordite is classified as a low explosive because of its slow burning rates and consequently low brisance [not verified in body].

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzleloader

    The gunpowder used is typically black powder or black powder substitutes like Pyrodex. Sometimes two types of gunpowder (and two flasks) were used consisting of finer ...

  6. Cartridge (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)

    A cartridge, [1] [2] also known as a round, is a type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition packaging a projectile (bullet, shot, or slug), a propellant substance (smokeless powder, black powder substitute, or black powder) and an ignition device within a metallic, paper, or plastic case that is precisely made to fit within the barrel chamber of ...

  7. Smokeless powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_powder

    The combustion products of smokeless powder are mainly gaseous, compared to around 55% solid products (mostly potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, and potassium sulfide) for black powder. [1] In addition, smokeless powder does not leave the thick, heavy fouling of hygroscopic material associated with black powder that causes rusting of the ...

  8. Firearm propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_propellant

    Black powder produces gas at a predictable rate unaffected by pressure, while the gas production rate of smokeless powder increases with increasing pressure. [6] The possibility of runaway pressures caused smokeless powder to destroy many firearms designed for black powder and required much more precise measurement of propellant charges.

  9. Decabromodiphenyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decabromodiphenyl_ether

    Decabromodiphenyl ether (also referred to as decaBDE, DBDE, BDE-209) is a brominated flame retardant which belongs to the group of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). It was commercialised in the 1970s and was initially thought to be safe, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] but is now recognised as a hazardous and persistent pollutant.
