[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1363220, member: 3099"] Take about a tablespoon full and make a little pile on the floor (of the garage!). Light it and see what happens. It will just fizzle and make some smoke. The slow rifle powders are really interesting to watch, it really makes you wonder how a rifle cartridge even works. The key is pressure. If the burning powder is not encased in a brass casing, and that is encased inside of a steel chamber, not much happens. You have to have something substantial to contain the pressure, if you have that it's "Nellie bar the door" otherwise you just have a real good fire for a couple of seconds. Like said before all bets are off with blackpowder. That chit will blow the hell up. Don't ask me how I know...:lookaroun [/QUOTE]
