Default BP - AR and AK

You could reload AKs and ARs rounds with BP to. You would get totally new and poorer ballistics, and of course fouling would render the firearm clogged and useless for anything but manual operation like a bolt action relatively quickly. ( And maybe clog up that to eventually).

But it could still fire is what I am saying. As would most cartridge firearms.
stats would have to be changed alot - poorer range,pen etc. The smoke plume from shooting would be a huge "tell" in the terrain too.

But it would still go pop.
