Smokeless Powder

Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in rifles, pistols, and other firearms to fire bullets. Unlike black powder, it produces minimal smoke when ignited, making shooting cleaner and easier to manage. It is made from chemical compounds like nitrocellulose and sometimes nitroglycerin, which burn rapidly and generate gases that push the bullet out of the barrel. Smokeless powders are more efficient and produce less residue, leading to less fouling in the firearm and allowing for more shots before cleaning is needed. They are widely used in modern ammunition for their reliability, cleanliness, and consistent performance.
