Which of the following is a disadvantage of using black powder in muzzleloading firearms?

  1. It can cause the barrel of the firearm to rust

  2. It is extremely difficult to ignite

  3. It only comes in one granulation size

  4. It requires a special permit in order to use

The correct answer is: It can cause the barrel of the firearm to rust

Black powder can cause the barrel of the firearm to rust due to its corrosive properties. Option B is incorrect because it is not difficult to ignite, but it may ignite unpredictably and cause malfunctions in the firearm. Option C is incorrect because black powder can actually come in multiple granulation sizes. Option D is incorrect because black powder does not require a special permit to use, although it may have restrictions on where and when it can be used.
