smokelesspowder
Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in firearms that burns much more cleanly and rapidly than black powder, producing significantly less smoke and fouling. It was developed in the late 19th century and revolutionized firearm technology. The primary ingredients of early smokeless powders were nitrocellulose, often gelatinized with nitroglycerin. Modern smokeless powders are typically based on nitrocellulose, sometimes with added stabilizers and energetic plasticizers.
The advantages of smokeless powder over black powder are numerous. Its cleaner burn leads to less residue
Smokeless powders are generally classified by their burn rate, which influences how quickly they detonate and
