also what the hell did you try to shoot it out of a piece of pipe from a shower rod

Could you use a miniscule amount of smokeless powder as a substitute charge of black powder? I don't mean is it safe/smart/practical to do so. Is it possible to propel a ball out of a black powder rifle using smokeless as a propellant without blowing up.

>>29589444
Well anon, would you consider using thermite as a substitute for smokeless powder?

Think on this.

>>29589444
no, the speed at which it burns is different.

>not reloading with gasoline instead of smokeless powder

>>29589444
Yes. Contrary to popular belief, a single particle of smokeless will not destroy a black powder gun. People load black powder cartridges with smokeless all the time since it's easier on the firearm, and IV proved that smokeless can be a substitute if you don't use very much

Today I learned OP is a retard

>>29589444
it is possible to create a load for a BP cartridge using smokeless powder but you would need to know a lot about the pressures involved, and when you consider that people blow up modern guns designed for smokeless powder you might understand why it is a bad idea.

It was a bit of pipe I used to grind up fireworks and shoot birdshot out of as a kid. Found it and didn't have any fireworks or black powder handy so I tried substituting with one part charcoal to two parts shotgun powder ground fine with maybe like 12 peices of birdpeices

Actually kind of cool how it deformed into the shape if the vice. Fired it off in my basment with a niggerrigged electric fuse and the steel doors shut.

>>29589444
I'd use as little as I can. Problem with using smokeless in BP-rated guns, the amount you need to not blow up your gun can be too little to compress and ignite evenly, so you might get more misfires in large-bore BP guns. Hence why there's such a problem with people using too much.

Would also recommend getting one that burns at around the same speed as BP for consistency's sake, but unless you're autistic about recording data and maximizing velocity then it probably won't matter.

Couldn't resist man, the thought of shoving charcoal in a gun is pretty hilarious.

Golly, are you gonna share that on /r/4chan? Gee, I hope you get front page and finally kill yourself after you realize that is you highpoint in life.

get off this board screencapping faggot

>>29589444
Is is more a matter of burn rate and time. There are smokeless powders like Trail Boss that are designed to burn slowly and can be shoved in blackpowder firearms and only have a significant risk of killing you instead of a guarantee.

In all seriousness, I have used up to 30 grains of Trail Boss out of an inline muzzleloader and not died. Any percussion cap or flint gun would likely have failed.

I don't think they use particuarly diffrent pressure rated barrels though. I mean, it's a clusterfuck of diffrent standards but all need to conform to a certain minimum or else just go out of business after lawsuits. Regardless the barrels are thicker on cap or flint locks so unless you are using an India special I think similar loads would work in in them.

How much fucking powder did you put in this?

>smokeless powder isnt a substitute for black powder

Holy shit

>>29589444
Basically, no. Not as a practical means of propelling a bullet.

Many a bubba has lost their hand to bring you this knowledge.
