So much yes

But beware - DO NOT use blackpowder in gas operated semi-automatics! You will fuck your weapon up and it won't even properly cycle.

Also it hardly works even for blowback operated weapons but potential success is more likely in this case

It's just dirty. There are youtube videos showing it will work. Just have to clean everything after 200 rounds or so.

Say what?

Then show me some of those videos. Not being a cunt here, generally curious. As far as I read and watched the pressure curve of blackpowder is too different from the smokeless powder and that it simply won't work + it will make all the wrong places all kind of dirty.

Just buy a 45-70 if you want to use this. You're correct and should not get black powder anywhere near your modern firearms. Don't be fooled gentleman and go read about reloading and how different burn rates effect pressure. You shouldn't be able to overpressure a modern barrel with black powder but you will kill the barrel life with such a corrosive powder. Like you're saying above about how this will foul up your gas operated semi-auto's to a point of complete failure. People can have issues with cycling just because of a different grain bullet being used and the corelating powder difference to create a proper pressure level and speed. I recommend to read this book if you want to learn to reload. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101284116/
