Talk:Smokeless powder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article states that smokeless gunpowder produces "negligible smoke when fired". I'll take that to mean that some smoke is nevertheless produced. Does anyone know if inhaling this smoke is known to have any adverse health effects? Appleseed 17:04, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Smokeless does not mean free of fumes. Over exposure to fumes may cause adverse health effects.Pyrotec 17:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Maxim's seminal patent is mentioned and linked at the end of the article but it is not included in the history area also without the leading zero to make a 7 digit patent number 0430212 rather than 430212 the link fails, this is the proper link to the patent in question but I do not know enough about edeting here to change it Windshadow 03:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
