First sentence: The history of explosives and propellants, also known generally as 'energetic materials', begins with the material known as gunpowder or black powder, whether the intended use was for civil applications such as rock blasting, military uses in demolition, shell filling (bursting charges) and construction projects, or military and civilian propellant charges for shotguns, pistols, rifles, or artillery.
