Making of black powder
« on: October 14, 2012, 02:34:59 PM »
Hey guys, just throwing this out here....

Has anyone here ever made their own Black Powder??

Have been doing a little research and it doesn't seem like rocket science.

There are lots of sites that discuss making it and they are the best place to discuss it.  It is generally taboo here.
