He said the Pyrodex they do sell is not considered explosive, because it "burns", but that the Pinnacle "explodes". I
Blackpowder is classified as an explosive. Pinnacle is not. It burns slowly, slower than Pyrodex. They could sell pinnacle if they chose to.

Blackpowder burns to. It burns so much faster than pyrodex and pinnacle that it can more easily be contained sufficiently to create an explosion.Given the right amount containment, pyrodex and pinnaclecould, i suspect,also cause an explosion.

You can use blackpowder or any blackpowder substitute safely in the scout.
