is baby powder flammable? i want to know if i can replace crushed math heads
with baby powder. I also dissected some old fireworks and found some black powder. what is it? i am just wondering because i want to find a way to make the prison gun easier to repeatedly fire.

Words fail me.

Baby powder is usually dextrin, cornflour, talc or some combination therin. Match heads are usually a mixture of chlorate and sulfur.

And maybe, just maybe, the mysterious black powder you found inside a firework, was, in fact, black powder.

And... prison gun? holy fuck. We got a bleeder here.

I feel it necessary to voice how amusing i find the utter lack of what used to be common sense. Though i suppose nowadays its more of Un-common sense. Ghost knows what i'm talking about.

I like you.

it most liky not black powder but some kind of flash powder... or magic dust as you seem to believe. the prison gun will could not work in full you would need to style a magazine and need to make it more secure and stop it from jamming and ammo... o and falling apart

okay thanks. i guess i'll just stick with match heads. i guess this was a stupid thread. <sigh>

I don't think that explosive baby powder would be a great invention. Dont smoke while around your kids....
