Because Its a propellant not an explosive powder. If you were to make a firework or some type of flame ignited explosive it will not work it will simply burn slowly. The reason it “explodes” in a gun is because it is ignited by a primer immediately consuming all the powder turning it into gas/smoke/a bit of flame
@@mikeoneil5741 wrong, smokeless wont work even if its confined. It will not work confined if its flame ignitited, example is cannons and flintlock rifles. It needs a strong percussion cap or primer for it to achieve maximum pressure
So technically the term is “deflagrates” not “burns”. This is a smokeless powder. It is pretty slow. Black powder is faster, and flash powder is super fast. They are referred to as flammable solids under hazmat and not explosives. But if they are contained under pressure, with nowhere for the energy to escape when they deflagrate, boom.
There are plenty of smokeless powders that burn super fast too. Rifle powders like this just tend to be slower burning because they are designed to build up velocity from the long burn since it has the time to do so out of rifle length barrels. Most pistol powders on the other hand flash off very quickly so that they can build their pressure and velocity more quickly being that there typically isn’t much barrel length in handgun calibers. I’m an avid hand loader of multiple calibers and the vast difference between how some of the powders I use burn is very interesting.
Fun fact: this is so called european powder because it burns slowly ,but it more powerful. You also have chinese powder which burns quickly ,but less powerful.
WRONG! It is nitrocellulose based. Sometimes in combination with nitroglycerin. Chinese, European, American powders all can range from fast to slow depending on the intended application. This is smokeless powder. Fireworks use black powder sometimes mixed with powdered metals to create colors when burning. Anyone using tin snips as pliers probably doesn’t know the answer to your question.
What a load of nonsensical comments here.. 1. Nitro powder burn rate depends on pressure. Allow the pressure to build and the burn rate will accelerate. Burn nitro in air and it burns slowly. 2. Propellent burns in a gun, not detonates. The primer simply ignites the propellent. 3. I have burned literally tons of nitro at a time to get rid of it. It produces huge orange flames and great heat, but no bang!
It burns faster under barrel/chamber pressure. It's a controlled explosion. It takes time to project a bullet without blowing it up. If there is a high explosion, then the bullet's mass won't have enough time to relieve the pressure without blowing up the chamber.
The slow burn that effectuates on open air and on a plank IS NOT the same as under pressure inside the chamber. Under pressure it will burn hot and fast to the point of 50,000+ of CPU's (chamber pressure units). 1cpu=14.5 lb hence why exceedingly important to never have an obstructed barrel.

African Warlords mixed gunpowder with Cocaine because the Nitroglycerin in the Nitrocellulose powders would open up the blood vessels and allow the drug to move through the blood stream faster.

Faster burning powders cause pressure spikes to happen more quickly. This can be a problem for heavy bullets, which don't have time to get started before the pressure spike occurs. Slower burning powders allow pressure to climb gradually, which helps move the bullet before the pressure peaks. Which is why pistol loads use fast powder. The projectiles are generally lighter than rifle loads and the barrel is too short for a slow burning powder. Rifle rounds use slower burning powder as the projectiles are generally heavier and the longer barrel allows for peak pressure/velocity at the muzzle.
@@Guywhoiscool-5543No, black powder isn’t expensive, it’s just potassium nitrate, carbon and sulfur. The reason it’s not used for firearms is because of how unclean it burns compared to smokeless gunpowder. Black power does burn quicker in open air tho
Let me guess. The slow burn ensures that the thrust is maintained throughout the rifle barrel. A faster burning powder would exhaust it's power too quickly and the resistance of the barrel would take away from the velocity a slower burn would yield. Just guessing, I'm no expert, jusr applying a bit of logic. I would greatly aporeciate a reply from someone who knows the actual reasoning behind this.
I'm not the expert you're looking for, but from what I know, that is basically it. A slower burning powder will keep increasing gas pressure for longer, which is perfect for a rifle. A faster burning powder will create a lot of pressure in a short time and will lose pressure just as fast, perfect for shorter barrels, like a pistol.
it is not that hard to make a gun powder or bullet or casing...or even a gun itself...but the primer compound is the hardest part...too many specific hard to obtain ingredients...
I made some smokeless powder and was disappointed..i thought since it burned slower than my black powder it wasnt good....now idk what to think..need to fire it ig
@Czsh2 well you start by making nitrocellulose. Then devolve it into acetone..the acetone will evaporate. You can grind the leftover material into small granules...there you go...there are videos on how to make gun cotton/ flash paper....that's nitrocellulose
I feel like gunpowder should burn a tad faster than that, could it have drawn in moisture? I know it only explodes when packed tightly as well, but most gunpowder seems to burn more violently than that.
@@SolaChristus1776 Yeah, like air pressure, but in a bullet its not going to be air pressure. It would be gas pressure from the gasses released from the powder burning. The gas is trying to expand and the walls of the casing and barrel are confining it so the pressure increases. The extra pressure pushes the burning particles closer together so they can transfer energy to nearby particles quicker and cause them to burn
Yo mi man! I was doing the same thing you are and that shell went off in my hand! Just saying if there is someone standing next to you and it goes off possibly injured or killed!!! I was lucky only lost feeling in my right hand and the person next to me has a 22 round in his shoulder!!! Be safe with live ammunition!
Freaking slow, black powder burns a lot faster! How does that even work? I mean it burns slow but how does it create enough gas pressure for the projectile to launch?
@@lukalukaluka123incorrect, if it was enclosed but lit with a torch it will not “explode” bullet will not exit the gun. The powder is a propellant which means only a strong ignition like a percussion cap or primer will turn it into an immediate “explosion”.
The powder is under so much pressure when it's in the casing, so when it's activated all the pressure has nowhere to escape so it all pushes to the bullet forcing it out which then shoots it out super fast

confine it and let the pressure build and youll see dramatically different behavoir. (might need a high speed camera)

Burns a hell of a lot faster when it’s under high pressure…

It's CUP for Copper Units of Pressure. There isn't a direct correlation between CUP and PSI.
Im not a scientist but sparklers also burn slow unless you tape them together tightly then it explodes. Interesting that gun power does the same.
It makes sense that the same people to open a cartridge with tin snips would have a torch held together with duck tape

One factor that speeds up combustion is pressure. Higher pressure increases the burn rate

It doesnt explode until it is contained.

I burn lot of powder during the war.
Is the powder low quality or it burns slow like that?

The powder for rifle ammunition burns at that speed when it is not contained, it is a slow defragmenting powder.

Nope.. the primer just ignites the charge. Nitro burning rate accelerates with pressure.
HOLY SHIT!! I had no idea it burnt so slow. Wow, wut?
It is made from sulfur charcoal and salt and pepper
whats your point
Why slow burning?
The powder is under so much pressure when it's in the casing, so when it's activated all the pressure has nowhere to escape so it all pushes to the bullet forcing it out which then shoots it out super fast
