Default Kinda OT ... motor speed control
fired this volley in
:

Becaue they are "aerosolized" - ALL of their surface area is exposed
to air. The only "safe" way to mill pyrotechnics is in an inert
atmosphere - and even then it is not "safe" because oxidizers are part
of the mix.



No... that's not true of milling black powder. It CAN be true for milling
some metals (like Mg). The safety issue comes from the impacts the balls
make on one-another with explosive powder between them.
