I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

    Spent gunpowder smells absolutely lovely.

    While not particularly good, it’s not bad either: I’m immune to the smell of cow dung. Pig, sheep, horse, etc smell horrible. But Cow shit is perfectly OK. Guess which animal I grew up with.

      LOVE black powder. Whatever’s in my AR-15 shells is foul though. No other round bothers me. .22LR, .22MAG, .380. .45, any given shotgun shell, no problem. Every .223 round smells awful.

      Anyone know what that might be?

        Dunno. I’ve mostly fired 7.62x51 NATO as well as some other NATO standard rounds. They are smelled the same.
