BLACK POWDER

BLACK POWDER

History

Some sources place the invention of gunpowder  during the dynasty

 Han (206 BC. BC to 220 AD. AD),

 but most historians believe that the powder  gun was invented in China around 

the seventh century during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). In the middle of Xixian dynasty around 1044, it is  advisable to avoid this type of mix that could  explode. The Wujing Zongyao (General Principles  of the Classic War) provides a method for making black powder grenades,  whose main effect seems to be more noise.  It seems that around 1130 tubes  filled with bamboo powder Black served as a flamethrower.

 The down arrows in such a device would have  made ​​the next step towards firearms. The manufacturing techniques of the powder were

 transmitted to the Arab-Persian world between the eighth century  and the ninth century, for exchange of technical alchemy existed between the Muslim world and  the Chinese world. However, his "known" use seems  rather dated the thirteenth century, with written statements

 composition of saltpetre, during the wars  between the Yuan Dynasty and Muslim Asian  plant. It has long been said that the black powder 

arrived in Europe in the middle of the thirteenth century by  means of the Islamic civilization

 (And sometimes in defiance of historical attestations,  that Marco Polo had brought back from his trip to  the Far East [citation needed].) in fact, it seems 

Mongolians have played a decisive role. Roger Bacon and Albertus Magnus acknowledge the recipe,  along the lines of that given by Marcus Gracchus in 

his manuscript Liber ad comburandos ignium hostes (1230),  but the goal remains incendiary. Ibn Khaldun mentions use powder for artillery headquarters in 1273

 of Sidjilmesa. The first gun used  appear about fifty years later. In 1829, Samuel Colt was the first to detonate a 

powder charge under the action of an electric current.

Smokeless powder

In 1886 invented the pyroxylée powder, which 

emits no smoke and little residue at its 

combustion. This powder is used today 

in all contemporary weapons, as 

virtually no residue does not clog.

Never use smokeless powder or powder
