The primary benefits over rifled barrels is reduced barrel wear, longer ranges that can be achieved ( due to the reduced loss of energy to friction and gas escaping around the projectile via the rifling ) and larger explosive cores for a given caliber artillery due to less metal needing to be used to form the case of the projectile because of less force applied to the shell from the non-rifled sides of the barrel of smooth bore guns.

Propellant is always a low explosive, this means it deflagrates instead of detonating, as with high explosives.

Because it is softer than most other metals in general use, brass is often used in situations where it is important that sparks not be struck, as in fittings and tools around explosive gases.

Unlike steel, bronze struck against a hard surface will not generate sparks, so it ( along with beryllium copper ) is used to make hammers, mallets, wrenches and other durable tools to be used in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of flammable vapors.

Dynamite is an explosive material based on nitroglycerin, initially using diatomaceous earth ( AmE: kieselgur ; BrE: kieselguhr ), or another absorbent substance such as powdered shells, clay, sawdust, or wood pulp.

Dynamite is a high explosive, which means its power comes from detonation rather than deflagration.

Nitroglycerin by itself is a very strong explosive, and in its pure form it is extremely shock-sensitive ( that is, physical shock can cause it to explode ), and degrades over time to even more unstable forms.
