Gunpowder problems!

[Yellowbelly]

well pros of blackpowder is that you can actually make it out on a field. Mostly consists of sulfer and manuer and some other stuff. Black powder is pretty weak compared to newer powders. It\'s cheap I think. Used in muzzleloaders and black powder rifles.

cons are it makes so much smoke, you can\'t see who you\'re firing at after you shot. In the revolutionary war (american), guys would prettymuch fire into smoke. A lot less advanced than new smokeless powders. Messy.

Smokeless: can stay hidden without giving away your position after firing. US troops had a hard time finding the Spanish using smokeless during the Spanish American war. Probably more expensive. Only used in metallic cartridges and much better for it. I\'m pretty sure it\'s more powerful than black powder. Probably more consistant too.
