The shell tube had to remain straight until it reached the point where the bullet fit into the neck.
is that gunpowder is an explosive mixture of saltpetre (potassium nitrate), charcoal and sulphur; formerly used in gunnery but now mostly used in fireworks while cordite is a smokeless propellent made by combining two high explosives, nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine, used in some firearm ammunition.
We use the term cordite to mean smokeless powder. It has a distinctive smell when it is burned. The term "cordite" generally disappeared from official publications between the wars.
