Ukraine and BLACKPOWDER Use By Today's Military:

 "You cannot explain to a fool that he is a fool - because he is a fool." Dunning-Kruger effect according to Andrei Martyanov ..

ONE reason that BLACKPOWDER - or might it be more acceptable to call it 'Antique Propellant'  - is becoming ever more expensive and hard to find - is that the Military-Arms Industry has a prior requirement for it's manufacture and supply ..

Yes they still use tonnes of it for BIG Caliber artillery and in aircraft EJECTION SEATS, and their bulk orders take priority over the needs of civililian shooters. - How many different reasons does anyone need, to learn how to self-supply neccessities?

The ongoing slaughter in Ukraine has, to date, conservatively cost taxpayers in Europe 300 Billion Dollars - but the U S is in for 14 TRILLION DOLLARS ..  (according to Col Douglas MacGregor) .. not to forget the more than 500,000 DEATHS and more than 500,000 terribly maimed Ukrainian casualities. - Plus a still awful but lesser number on the Russian side of this conflict - possibly 50,000 dead ..

How many more lives will depart from that theater AND - how many of us around the world are going to be killed by the insanity of Israel and Palestine - before that GOVERNMENT slaughter ends?

Antique ball propellant has for some 700 years been produced by fairly ordinary folk as a "Cottage Industry' - Naturally accidents have occurred from time to time resulting from careless handling or from unknown cause. Black Powder or Gun Powder is a LOW Explosive .. but it is explosive.

Petrol is explosive, Gas is explosive, kitchen knives are sharp - bulls, stags & stallions are dangerous. Do not walk in front of moving buses or trains - nor eat any possum or rat poison.

Provided a careful educated approach is adopted at all times with particular care to mix only small batches while religeously avoiding all iron and steel tools & containers, problems will be avoided .. WOOD IS GOOD and glass is class .. Don't mix it or store it in your home or close to dwellings as insurance companies will object - not to mention paranoid politicians and their armed servants.

Do not break the laws of the land ..

If you don't know what you are doing, - don't do it.
