I would like to add this. When I was in the Illinois National Guard in the mortar section we always burned our charge bags before we left the range, it was range rules.
On mortar rounds there are charge bags attached . To hit the target the distance of trajectory has to be adjusted by tearing of a certain amount of charge bags.
I beleive the charges which were cotton bags contained black powder. When these charge bags were burned they were very bright and could hurt the eyes if looked at directly.
