An Introduction to Black Powder and Comparison to Smokeless Powder

In this video I give a brief explanation of what black powder is and how it works. There is also a demonstration of how it burns compared to modern smokeless powder, and how differently the same cartridge shoots in the same revolver (a .45LC Pietta Peacemaker) but with different powders.
