How much oxygen does modern smokeless powder need to ignite?

>>33491559
It needs the oxygen it comes with, dipshit.

>>33491559
Zero. It self oxydises.

>>33491559
All smokeless powder has its own oxidizer dumb ass fucking moron. It works in zero oxygen environments.

>>33491571
So the KNO3 is in saltpeter is all it needs?

>>33491559
its part of the reaction in the powder guy, come on....

>>33491581
Yeah and enough activation energy to get the reaction going

>>33491581
>>33491581
yes, hence why powder can still burn and explode when it is cased in something air tight, like a cartridge....

What if the smokeless powder was made in space where there is no oxygen, would it still be able to ignite?

space shooting range when?

OP curiously asks question, because hows he supposed to know?
Everyone: you're a dummy, go die, fuck you

>>33491559
its gunpowder it doesnt need oxygen to ingnite. it needs a flame.

>>33491619
Which raises the question: will regular primers work in space?

>>33491607
>>Bullet gets caught in Earths gravitational pull
>Flys around the Earth and slams into the ISS at 30 km/s
Not possible. It's possible for it to come back and hit the ISS, but not at a substantially greater (relative) velocity.

>>33491639
Duh, retard.

>>33491665
What if the gravity slingshots it to go faster like in TV and movies.

>>33491559
is that rabbit food

>>33491603
You don't need oxygen to make it.

>>33491618
Google. You're a dummy, go die, fuck you.

How do they get enough oxygen inside of a cartridge to burn the gunpowder?

>>33491934
lol oxygen is a gas stupid, it cant be in a powderm duh

>>33491945
stop shitposting

>>33491687
It would miss the ISS because it would be an elliptical orbit.
Also velocity is the lowest at the periapsis and apoapsis.

>>33491973
thanks for the (You), now i feel like i belong

What if the trajectory was sorta like this.

>>33491990
love you too

>>33491979
>Also velocity is the lowest at the periapsis and apoapsis.
Only 50% of this statement is true, now fuck off to kspg

>>33492024
It would hit something before it made it a mile.

>>33492024
that is a very cute picture anon you should be proud of it maybe ask your mom to hang it up on your fridge?

>>33491665
Nigga u wrong

>>33491581

Smokless and blackpowder are diferent chemicals and should never be considered the same as that is a great way to blow your hand off.

They both contain O2 that they need.

>>33492032
prove me wrong friendo

>>33492090
Velocity is lowest at apogee/apoapsis.
t. physics

>>33492155
U rite
>>33492090
U wrong

>>33492024
ISS and earth are still moving

>>33492191
But so is the bullet

>>33492194
In the model drawn, there is no movement represented for either the earth or the ISS

>>33491680
Would Flintlocks?

Nobody is this stupid.

>>33491665
Maybe if it was in a polar orbit...

>>33492209
Yes.

How much fire does oxygen need?

NEW TOPIC OF THREAD
What's the fastest burning commercially available powder you can buy?
I think that Norma made the fastest, a pistol powder, but they stopped production

>>33491665
>>33491607
there is drag in LEO.

>>33492079
black powder doesn't have anywhere near enough
that's why it smokes so badly

>>33492419
No.

>>33492862
I'm not sure why you think that. Flints aren't dependent on oxygen to create a spark.

>>33492472
All of it.

>>33491979
nigga u what? velocity is highest at periapsis

It doesn't need oxygen, but it does need the containment provided by atmospheric pressure to sustain burning. A gun would work in space, but a pile of gunpowder will not burn in space.
