Gunpowder problems!

[Yellowbelly]

More consistant- a better mixture, explodes more thoroughly, better explosive power, could contribute to better accuracy. With modern powders, shots can reach out to 1km accurately. There\'s not really any chance black powder could do that.

Also the .30-30 round was the first smokeless round (at least in America) and it\'s claimed more deer than any other cartridge. It\'s still in use today after about 110 years. I have a rifle chambered in one actually.

America won the war.

Actually it should hardly be called a war. It lasted like less than 3 months. Spain was taking over Cuba and the cubans were revolting for like 10 years. A new commander came and put them in concentration camps and some stories and pictures leaked out to the American public. A US battleship blew up by cuba and a letter was written insulting the president so that threw us into war so we could kick out European influence (comes from the monroe doctrine). Little story for ya.
