Confinement not pressure. The rapid expansion causes the pressure inside the barrel, where it contains the pressure, and leaves it with one direction to go.

[@manuelcardoso5642]

The confinement causes the pressure when ignited. That’s what he saying.😅

[@jjnix9517]

It takes more than that, it's been tested. Basically it need to be in a barrel when the primer is struck to cause it to go off with little exception.

[@allenbarker6009]

​@@jjnix9517That is exactly what the previous poster said. The confinement in the cartridge case, which acts as a mechanical seal in the chamber, is what causes a rapid and exponential pressure spike to propel the projectile down the bore. A cartridge burned in a fire just splits the case open because it lacks Confinement in the chamber.

Muzzleloader powder?😂

[@FrozenHawkHunter]

Eh he's kind of right. It could have been pyrodex and not black powder. And there were a few different types of non black powder. I don't know if they are still around as I haven't fired a muzzle loader in 23 years. Course he could have said the first was smokeless powder.

[@jimjordan2209]

Fifty years ago there was some friends of my younger brother trying to figure out why they couldn't get black powder to explode when they poured it out on the ground. I put some of it in a plastic container and make it fuse by impregnating some powder into heavy paper. It took them a while to figure out why it exploded for me and not for them.

[@frankspataro9714]

Try 4 ffff black powder that will show the difference lol

[@generaldecay8163]

“Muzzle Loader Powder”…wtf?

[@leftyo9589]

what... "this is muzzle loader powder" doh!!. its called propellent for a reason, not an explosive.

[@kcstott]

Black powder is an explosive.

[@daverodney9556]

How about showing real black powder not triple seven or pyrodex

[@CatTechSupport]

You would get the same result just much faster, the containment of the chamber for muzzle loader and brass in the chamber for modern autos is why you get detonation instead of simple combustion. Literally the same thing applies to modern engines, the modern combustion engine is more so fundamentally a detonation engine the fuel more so is going off in a contained explosion instead high pressure combustion.

[@FrozenHawkHunter]

It's not in a confined space. The flame does not push the bullet out tge barrel. The build up of gasses does. It's why air rifles work. It's all about the psi.

[@benfield6343]

The chamber/ barrel harnesses its energy.

[@seansilva967]

I tried to make a giant smoke bomb out of sparklers when I was a kid and quickly learned the inverse of this lesson

[@poorfatman5317]

I would not expect it to explode.I done that experiment over forty years ago

[@KarasCyborg]

Now an Estes Rocket Engine is .... something else. Try that for your next test.

[@iratecrab]

Deflagration vs Detonation.

[@Mark-qq7io]

Boy it's a good thing you told everyone cuz we're

[@natejackson4791]

MUZZLE LOADER POWDER???

[@woodworm3615]

Science!!!!

[@infected7258]

Now what would happen if you use different stuff like potassium nitrate and sugar in rounds

[@seanmcgee8768]

That is some real crap black powder😂😂

[@alexcmp]

Try firecracker powder

[@jameslflowers]

This is why they are classified as Propellents not Explosives

[@jamesendsley2611]

Both of them are gunpowder first one he lights up is smokeless powder the second one is black powder giant cloud of white smoke is the black powder they're both for guns

[@stuborn-complaining-german]

Now do Blackpowder...

[@Anonymous8317]

Muzzle loader is black powder, no?

[@servicetrucker5564]

@@Anonymous8317Not that muzzle loader powder. These two looked pretty similar. Real black powder will just go VOOP and it’s gone

[@yackseaman1994]

real black powder should be explosive like goex but you may be using a pyrodex

[@jimknight2041]

So what do you want a metal or cookie ?

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Low v High Explosives.

[@adriandeere847]

Why would anyone think it would explode?

[@holderheck]

Close but inaccurate, The reason it burns instead of pops is no one wants 30000 psi and chamber enriched propellant. So we standardized grain size and fuel to oxidizer ratios. You can with KClO4 80 20 or 80 5 10 5 make powder grains that go pop instead of fwoosh. Modern powders are another beast entirely. but are safer and more consistent. It is possible to make black powder mixes so volatile the atmospheric pressure is enough to get a pop.

[@sagenbabin8786]

Muzzle loader powder. You mean black powder

[@hellyeah3871]

How do posi-trac rear-ends work Jim?

[@dustinpomeroy8817]

They just do

[@TheRattail]

Or to say it more simple they are both low explosives and not high explosives.

[@bloimlala42]

how to make this content SEO friendly 🤣

[@michaelfessenden8601]

It's called deflicates it burns and produces a gas rapidly. Contain that gas, then it explodes.

[@EnderPearlRs]

Explosion = pressure + heat Remove pressure, no bang

[@outkast937]

I mean theres also the part where neither gunpowder nor black powder explode.. big difference between an explosion and rapid combustion

[@MarioGarcia-pq9pr]

It’s not called muzzleloader powder its called Black powder and first one you lit up is called smokeless powder

[@jaybailleaux630]

It's a propellant.

[@Anonymous8317]

Because exploding your pew is bad. You want built up pressure to propel an object.

[@ddawg_hunting]

I wonder if he pins and replies Ps I love your channel can you do a vid on the tikka t3x superlite

[@oakleylarsen3480]

Brother he has like 4 videos on the tikka alone, one is literally the tikka VS everything

[@flfll8187]

Just use c2n14

[@kcstott]

that was a black powder substitute. try that with real black powder

[@kcstott]

So WTF is muzzle loading powder? Because I have a Cartridge firing Black powder rifle. and like four pistols that shoot black powder cartridge and they do not muzzle load.

[@847global2]

Flash is way more

[@Mr.Nippit]

If it wasn’t for you tube no one would be able to prove they are idiots.

[@dingodave89]

Gunpowder in any form doesn't explode. Explosions require detonation but gunpowder doesn't do that, it deflagrates. There is a difference and it's sad that you failed to do your research before posting this

[@deathknight1238]

WOW, The BYU community is really trying here, trying to describe the difference between conflagration, and Detonation, lol .

[@eatingelizabethsfrizbee]

You mean black powder 🙄

[@notyou6950]

Quit wasting Varget.

[@josephoday9995]

🤦‍♂️

[@jamesendsley2611]

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about one is smokeless powder and the other one is black powder they're both gunpowder and you have pistol cartridges and rifle cartridges for black powder not just muzzleloaders so he doesn't know what he's talking about when he says four muzzleloading is black powder and you have black powder cartridges and muzzleloading but you don't want to put that smokeless powder in any of the black powder stuff cuz it'll blow up and make pipe bomb

[@LannisterKing]

i dont think i love Guns

[@clydeholiday5907]

What do you think we're stupid are you I hate it when you people talk

[@847global2]
