Black Powder, what else could it maen?

 

Btw, that wasnt supposed to sound mean.

 

BP could and does mean British Petroleum :)

as for the `mean` bit I meant I know what I mean, as in the meaning makes ense to me *sigh*

 

 

right, now having that cleared out of the way, you wish to make Black Powder?

 

not AP or TCAP or NC, just pure and simple BP :)

 

well why you mentioned cotton or news paper beats me, unless yer after NC?

NC can use those materials and is a replacement for BP, known as SBSP or DBSP all are both NC based.

 

 

so, it`s make yer mind up time, you want BP (uses non or the stuff ya mentioned in post #1) or ya want NC (SBSP/DBSP) that can use the stuff ya mentioned in post #1?

or AP as 1`st mentioned wich uses non of the above and woyuld be far to dangerous to use as would shatter any gun or cannon you tried to make.

 

 

 

your call :)

NC`s very easy to make if you have the right chems at the correct strengths.

you`ll need: conc sulphuric acid, nitric acid 70% or above, sodium hydroxide sollution, cotton wool and loads of sodium bicarb.

 

wash the cotton wool in the sodium hydroxide soln for 2 or 3 mins, then rinse out thouroughly with cold water. let it dry.

 

take your nitric acid out the fridge half fill a beaker, then take you sulphuric acid out of the fridge and pour into your beaker until it is 3/4 full, there maybe some heating, so put your beaker back into the fridge and allow it to cool again, you`ve just made a nitrating mix.

do the rest outside now, as it`ll produce NOx gasses, and keep the temp low, as you`ll get a run away reaction and risk spontanious explosion spraying acid everywhere, and you`ll have no NC at the end of it either, so if it`s worth doing, do it right 1`st time.

 

when cool add your cotton wool peice at a time and stir with a glass rod for a few mins, remove the wool then wash in cold water for 5 mins, then add your bicarb and let it steep in that for 20 mins, wash thouroughly with clean water again, and let your wool dry, do NOT dry it on a heater or smoke near it, you`ve just made SBSP NC aka GunCotton :)
