  2. Powder keg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_keg

    The powder keg was the primary method for storing and transporting large quantities of black powder until the 1870s and the adoption of the modern cased cartridge. The barrels had to be handled with care, since a spark or other source of heat could cause the contents to deflagrate. In practical use, powder kegs were small casks to limit damage ...

    Burst barrel of a muzzle loader pistol replica, which was loaded with nitrocellulose powder instead of black powder and could not withstand the higher pressures of the modern propellant The development of smokeless powders, such as cordite , in the late 19th century created the need for a spark-sensitive priming charge , such as gunpowder.

  5. Firearm propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_propellant

    Bulk powders were intended to offer advantages of smokeless powder for use in firearms designed for black powder. Charges of bulk powder are loaded in the same volume appropriate for black powder. Early formulations including partially nitrated cellulose with potassium nitrate or barium nitrate were more successful in shotguns than in rifles.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_bore

    Comparison of .577 Black Powder Express, .303 British & 8 bore bullets. The most common 8 bore cartridges used paper cases, much like shotgun shells, and true .835 in (21.2 mm) caliber projectiles. A larger version utilising a thin brass case was also available, although it fired .875 in (22.2 mm) projectiles, in reality making it a 7 bore. [5]

  8. Primer (firearms) - Wikipedia

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

    In firearms and artillery, the primer (/ ˈ p r aɪ m ər /) is the chemical and/or device responsible for initiating the propellant combustion that will propel the projectiles out of the gun barrel. In early black powder guns such as muzzleloaders, the primer was essentially the same chemical as the main propellant (albeit usually in a finer ...

  9. Muzzle velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    In some instances, the powder may not have even been fully burned in guns with short barrels. So, the muzzle velocity of a 2-inch (51 mm) barrel is less than that of a 4-inch (100 mm) barrel, which is less than that of a 6-inch (150 mm) barrel. Large naval guns will have high length-to-diameter ratios, ranging between 38:1 to 50:1. This length ...
