Because Its a propellant not an explosive powder. If you were to make a firework or some type of flame ignited explosive it will not work it will simply burn slowly. The reason it “explodes” in a gun is because it is ignited by a primer immediately consuming all the powder turning it into gas/smoke/a bit of flame

@@mikeoneil5741 wrong, smokeless wont work even if its confined. It will not work confined if its flame ignitited, example is cannons and flintlock rifles. It needs a strong percussion cap or primer for it to achieve maximum pressure

Fun fact: this is so called european powder because it burns slowly ,but it more powerful. You also have chinese powder which burns quickly ,but less powerful.

WRONG! It is nitrocellulose based. Sometimes in combination with nitroglycerin. Chinese, European, American powders all can range from fast to slow depending on the intended application. This is smokeless powder. Fireworks use black powder sometimes mixed with powdered metals to create colors when burning. Anyone using tin snips as pliers probably doesn’t know the answer to your question.

It burns faster under barrel/chamber pressure. It's a controlled explosion. It takes time to project a bullet without blowing it up. If there is a high explosion, then the bullet's mass won't have enough time to relieve the pressure without blowing up the chamber.

Let me guess. The slow burn ensures that the thrust is maintained throughout the rifle barrel. A faster burning powder would exhaust it's power too quickly and the resistance of the barrel would take away from the velocity a slower burn would yield. Just guessing, I'm no expert, jusr applying a bit of logic. I would greatly aporeciate a reply from someone who knows the actual reasoning behind this.
@shaska762

I'm not the expert you're looking for, but from what I know, that is basically it. A slower burning powder will keep increasing gas pressure for longer, which is perfect for a rifle. A faster burning powder will create a lot of pressure in a short time and will lose pressure just as fast, perfect for shorter barrels, like a pistol.

@Czsh2 well you start by making nitrocellulose. Then devolve it into acetone..the acetone will evaporate. You can grind the leftover material into small granules...there you go...there are videos on how to make gun cotton/ flash paper....that's nitrocellulose

What a load of nonsensical comments here.. 1. Nitro powder burn rate depends on pressure. Allow the pressure to build and the burn rate will accelerate. Burn nitro in air and it burns slowly. 2. Propellent burns in a gun, not detonates. The primer simply ignites the propellent. 3. I have burned literally tons of nitro at a time to get rid of it. It produces huge orange flames and great heat, but no bang!

The powder is under so much pressure when it's in the casing, so when it's activated all the pressure has nowhere to escape so it all pushes to the bullet forcing it out which then shoots it out super fast
