Gun Cotton Fuse

[PapaSmurf'sChode]

i just thought of a realy good idea, put a roll of pure cotton string into a bowl of sulphuric acid and kno3, and turn it into gun cotton. how fast would the fusr go? someone try it *sneeze N2O *cough* ahem, Mr. i turn a full T-shirt into gun cotton

ive heard about that kind of shit burning at 40 in/min

Compared to Firetime's estimate, thats pretty slow.

[titsmigee]

yeah u prolly meant 40in/sec
and i believ this is about right
gun cotton was used as a propellant in cannons and other civil war munitions
