Meh. One could argue that we haven’t been using gunpowder since it stopped being black and smoky. Gun powder is just a subset of propellant. I can’t see getting all worked up about that. But that’s just me. Your mileage obviously varies. So be it.It's gun POWDER , not PROPELLANT. I think it's an early appeasement-word dreamed up by someone in the industry, to placate the newz media; powder is baddd, we ''propell'' the bullet...since we are propelling the bullet, we are gooddd...
Propellant reminds me of a word cooked up by someone with a long pinky fingernail used for coke.
