There are many varieties of gunpowder.  Disregarding the military use of Composition B for large caliber,  high velocity guns - there are two basic types.  First there is 'black powder' - this is the form used up to the late 1800's and is still used in many applications, most notably among hobbyists firing replicas of antique guns.\n\nWhat is most commonly used today is nitrocellulose (AKA 'smokeless powder').  This comes in three different types:\n\nSingle Base: pure nitrocellulose\nDouble base: nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin\nTriple base: nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin and nitroguanidine\n\nNow these powders come in two basic types: pistol powders and rifle powders.  Pistol powders tend to be flattened cylinders of flakes in order to burn as rapidly as possible (gunpowder does not 'explode' it simply burns very rapidly while producing a large volume of hot gas).  Rifle powders tend to be tiny cylinders in order to produce a longer duration burn that provides steady acceleration down the longer barrel of a rifle.

Yes. TNT has a slightly different format for the race. It's a race with commercials rather than the other way around.

It says a lot of different things - if you have the different seasons on dvd, you can view frame by frame and see it. One thing it's said in the past tho (and metioned on the show, too) was "NRA4EVER". \n\nBut just like the couch gag & the chalk board, it's different each time. :o)

Essentially, blanks are the regular cartridge, but instead of the shell (the pointy bit, otherwise known as the bullet), there is a round circle of cardboard.  The gun still fires as usual, but is much lighter (how arnold can shoot a big gun with one hand).  In theory, the cardboard should be burned and harmless, but for the first second or so, it's still dangerous.  So, it's a yes and no.  If you're wearing proper protective gear and are more than a foot from the person who's firing at you, you should be fine.  \n\nAn aside: A bullet has three main parts, the shell (the one that kills people) the cartridge (what holds the gunpowder) and a starter (what the hammer hits and what ignites the gunpowder).  For hollywood, if they show somebody loading bullets into a gun, they use bullets with deactivated starters, no gunpowder and regular shells.  Then, for firing, they use blanks.\n\nI would say that you should express your concern to whoever is running the wargames and see what they say.  they could be using a special setup, i don't know.  \n\nI know that was complicated, but best of luck!\n\n-Belril

Action Express is part of a caliber name.  There were several of these rounds made.   41ae and 50 ae to name two.  I own a 41AE .  While these guns are very accurate and fun to shoot ammo cost is very high for ammo.

sometimes gun powder, but a lot of the time they use flash powder, a fine white powder. it burns very bright but creats lots of white smoke. \n the main ingretients in flash powder are potassium perchlorate and aluminum powder. Sometimes, sulfur is included in the mixture to increase the sensitivity\nThe optimum proportions for gunpowder are: 74.64% saltpeter, 13.51% charcoal, and 11.85% sulfur (by weight). \nRed Coloring\nstrontium salts\nred coloring they use lithium carbonate \nbright red, strontium carbonate\nOrange Coloring\ncalcium salts\ncalcuim chloride\ncalcium sulfate\nGold Coloring\nincandescence of iron (with carbon), charcoal, or lampblack\nYellow coloring\nsodium compounds \nsodium nitrate \ncryolite\nEectric white coloring\nwhite-hot metal, such as magnesium or aluminum \nbarium oxide\nGreen coloring\nbarium compounds + chlorine producer \nbarium chloride bright green\nBlue coloring \ncopper compounds + chlorine producer \ncopper acetoarsenite (Paris Green)= blue \ncopper chloride= turquoise blue\nPurple coloring\nmixture of strontium (red) and copper (blue) compounds\nSlver coloring\nburning aluminum, titanium, or magnesium powder or flakes\n\nthis is for informational use only\n\nDan

Fireworks utilize a rapid chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer to release energy is the form of heat, light, and sound.\n\nGun powder is a common firework chemical.  Gun powder is made out of mixture of Sulfur, Charcoal, and Potassium Nitrate.  The Sulfur and Charcoal act as the fuel and the Potassium Nitrare acts as the Oxidizer.  When the power is ignited, the chemicals react together very quickly to produced to "explosive" results.
