What kind of powder can cause serious injury if used in a muzzleloader?

Modern day smokeless powder
Black powder
Pyrodex
Any form of propellant

The correct answer is: Modern day smokeless powder

Modern day smokeless powder can cause serious injury if used in a muzzleloader because it is designed to be used in modern firearms and can generate higher pressure levels than what a traditional muzzleloader can handle. This can cause the barrel of the muzzleloader to explode or rupture, leading to serious injury or even death. Black powder and its substitutes, such as Pyrodex, are specifically designed for use in muzzleloaders and have lower pressure levels, making them safer to use. Any other form of propellant, such as gunpowder or rifle powder, is also not safe to use in a muzzleloader and can result in serious injury.
