The propellants used are pyroxylin (standard soviet pistol powder "П-45","П-125" also used for blankfiring 5.45x39 and 7.62x39) or smokeless powder consisting of spherical ellipsoids which measure from 0.45-0.75mm, resulting in powder density of 0.95g/cm3.

The most popular caliber for automatic grenade launchers in Western nations has been 40mm. [2] [3] The Soviet Union successfully fielded a 30mm grenade launcher, the AGS-17, during its war in Afghanistan. In 2002, Russia introduced a successor weapon, the AGS-30, and in 2017, the AGS-40 Balkan. [6]
There, a 115 only needs to be going a bit over 1,500 ft/s to qualify for major power factor. Competitors in the late 1980s and early 1990s who were using the 9×25mm Dillon used the additional powder available over .38 Super to produce more gas in the compensator, or muzzle brake , to make pistols shoot with as little muzzle rise as possible to ...
Black powder substitutes are measured by volumetric measurement techniques, not in grains on a scale, due to the difference in density compared to black powder. For example, to measure a "60 grain equivalent" of black powder substitute suitable for use in a muzzleloader rifle, one uses a volumetric measure that produces a volume of black powder ...
Finnish smokeless powder. Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in firearms and artillery that produces less smoke and less fouling when fired compared to black powder. Because of their similar use, both the original black powder formulation and the smokeless propellant which replaced it are commonly described as gunpowder.
