Abstrakt: Most smokeless propellant powders for small arms use are either single base or double base types. Single base powders consist of nitrocellulose with small amounts of additives such as tin to reduce barrel fouling and muzzle flash, graphite to improve handling, and a stabilizer such as diphenylamine. Double base powders contain nitrocellulose with 10 to 15% of nitroglycerin added [1].
