A major step forward was the invention of guncotton, a nitrocellulose-based material, by German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1846. He promoted its use as a blasting explosive [7] :28 and sold manufacturing rights to the Austrian Empire. Guncotton was more powerful than gunpowder, but at the same time was once again somewhat more unstable. John Taylor obtained an English patent for guncotton; and John Hall & Sons began manufacture in Faversham. Smokeless powder requires two things to burn efficiently, heat and pressure. Without enough heat the powder will not ignite. If it does ignite is may burn slow or “Smoulder” before suddenly going off. This creates a “Hangfire”, ignition can be delayed by a few milliseconds or as long as 30 seconds or more. Using the correct primer for a load, is important to provide enough heat to ignite the propellent. Dale "slade" Henson (April 1991). Realmspace. Edited by Gary L. Thomas, Karen S. Boomgarden.

Stabilizers prevent or slow down self-decomposition. These include diphenylamine, petroleum jelly, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate, and beta-Naphthol methyl ether [15] Obsolete stabilizers include amyl alcohol and aniline. [6] Modern Smokeless Powder may have as much as a 30% higher energy content. Slow burning powders such as N570 have as much as 3.9 Megajoules per Kilogram (~1.3 Million Foot Pounds per Pound).Decoppering additives hinder the buildup of copper residues from the gun barrel rifling. These include tin metal and compounds (e.g., tin dioxide), [7] and bismuth metal and compounds (e.g., bismuth trioxide, bismuth subcarbonate, bismuth nitrate, bismuth antimonide); the bismuth compounds are favored as copper dissolves in molten bismuth, forming brittle and easily removable alloy. Lead foil and lead compounds have been phased out due to toxicity. [15] William W. Connors, Steve Miller, Cindi Rice, David Wise (1998). Champions of the Mists. Edited by Cindi Rice.

Smokeless powder may be corned into small spherical balls or extruded into cylinders or strips with many cross-sectional shapes (strips with various rectangular proportions, single or multi-hole cylinders, slotted cylinders) using solvents such as ether. These extrusions can be cut into short ("flakes") or long pieces ("cords" many inches long). Cannon powder has the largest pieces. [7] :28 [3] :41 This first powder was nearly entirely comprised of Nitrocellulose, but forever changed the propellent world. The powder burned cleanly, giving off very little smoke, and resulted in higher muzzle velocities. Higher muzzle velocities are advantageous as the bullets follow a flatter trajectory, are less susceptible to winddrift, and increased the effective range. It didn’t take long for other European countries to develop their own formulations of this new Smokeless Powder.Smoke mix can be made in many ways, you can either mix Potassium nitrate and Sugar dry, in a 60/40 mixture by weight, or, for a better smoke mix, you can melt them down together over an electric hot plate. You should NOT make a batch more than 100 grams total at once, as the larger the batch, the harder it is to evenly cook. Ed Greenwood, Sean K. Reynolds, Skip Williams, Rob Heinsoo (June 2001).

The armed forces of Colletro, Sumbria, and other city-states of the Blade Kingdoms used smokepowder to arm the highly controversial arquebus and handgun troops by 1217 DR. [5] That year, a nest of rats found a way into the smokepowder stash in the Palace of Sumbria. The hungry pests gorged on the substance, which let to an infestation of strangely annoying explosive rats that regularly created commotion in the palace. [41]Gibbs, Jay (2010). "Question 27/05: "Flashless" Propellant". Warship International. XLVII (3): 217. ISSN 0043-0374. The properties of the propellant are greatly influenced by the size and shape of its pieces. The specific surface area of the propellant influences the speed of burning, and the size and shape of the particles determine the specific surface area. By manipulation of the shape it is possible to influence the burning rate and hence the rate at which pressure builds during combustion. Smokeless powder burns only on the surfaces of the pieces. Larger pieces burn more slowly, and the burn rate is further controlled by flame-deterrent coatings that retard burning slightly. The intent is to regulate the burn rate so that a more or less constant pressure is exerted on the propelled projectile as long as it is in the barrel so as to obtain the highest velocity. The perforations stabilize the burn rate because as the outside burns inward (thus shrinking the burning surface area) the inside is burning outward (thus increasing the burning surface area, but faster, so as to fill up the increasing volume of barrel presented by the departing projectile). [3] :41–43 Fast-burning pistol powders are made by extruding shapes with more area such as flakes or by flattening the spherical granules. Drying is usually performed under a vacuum. The solvents are condensed and recycled. The granules are also coated with graphite to prevent static electricity sparks from causing undesired ignitions. [6] :306 What is on the market today is miles ahead of the Cordite and the Poudre B of yesteryear. The difference is not the base chemicals as much as it is the geometry of the grain and the chemical additives that coat the grain. These additives can act a retardants which slow the burn of the grain, creating a harder to ignite but longer burning grain, or in the case of graphite, create lubricity preventing the clumping of the powder and allowing for uniform metering on loading equipment.

Smokepowder was typically sold and carried within either small wooden powderkegs or in powder horns. [12] A pouch held enough for eighteen shots of an arquebus. [2] [3] Propellants using nitrocellulose ( detonation velocity 7,300m/s (23,950ft/s), RE factor 1.10) (typically an ether-alcohol colloid of nitrocellulose) as the sole explosive propellant ingredient are described as single-base powder.

Place saucepan on high and stir constantly until all water is boiled off, and you are left with a light to mid-yellow paste.On Oerth, smokepowder was an inert substance, not functioning until it was taken off the planet. [22] However, clerics of the Oerthian god of science, Murlynd, were capable of making smokepowder function by concentrating on it with their divine magic. [23] In the land of Shou Lung, one could find smokepowder for sale in the city of Chunming. [21] Beyond Toril [ ]
