pretty cool. but thats some slow burning stuff.

@Nukedeuce The finer you crush it, the faster it will burn... Only had a few minutes left on my tape so I rushed it and didn't crush it as much as I should have. Just wanted to show people the basics.

@dzsk8r You'd best be wise not to be doing that. There's a reason why firearms use gun/black powder and not firework powder. Safety is one of those factors.

And if you're using homemade powder for your makeshift firearm, you shouldn't be trying to make a firearm in the first place.

[spudmonkey14]

why cant you use it in firearms?

[pbarboza05]

If you're BP is igniting when dropped - you're doing it wrong.

[dzsk8r]

hi, ive been working on a gun. and it is now completed. ive went through everything and i know the risks. but the bullets are entirely homemade aswell. could i just take apart fireworks and use that powder for a propellant?

good blackpowder will not ignite from shock or friction. please go and watch another video as this one seems to either be outdated or have incorrect information. Modern gunpowder(well only black powder-same mix he is making) is made by ball milling, crushing in a tumbler with lead or ceramic non-sparking grinding media. t is also rammed into rocket motor so you can be sure it is not ignited by impact or shock. this doesn't mean to abuse the black powder, still be careful with it. Ball mill it.

@KrasusAversa

I wasn't saying that if you light it it will explode. I'm not that stupid. I was saying that it has the capability to explode.

[KrasusAversa]

@3DPlanets If it isnt closed in anything,it can only burn
