Post Script: I had some fairly old smokeless powder (name forgotten) that I got in an estate sale, about 20 years ago, that smelled STRONGLY of Baby Barf mixed with Cat Pee......Hideous.
I poured it out (about a third of a pound) on my gravel driveway (upwind of it) and ignited it. Burned just like any other smokeless powder !
I read somewhere that old Surplus Egyptian 8mm Mauser rounds smelled so bad when fired that guys downwind complained quite a bit. Cordite ?
