Black powder is the propellant.

Start using screwdrivers instead of knives - see if that stops the stabbings...then maybe try using forks...

I saw a video somewhere. The anvils fortuitously have a hollow on their undersides in which the shooters pack powder, and have pre-drilled a hole in which they insert a fuse, upend it onto ANOTHER anvil, and ignite.

Well, one thing’s reassuring. Even if they outlaw all guns and all gunpowder, we can always make black powder from sulfur, salt peter and charcoal or coal (I forget which), and it packs one hell of a wallop. Can even send an anvil skyward.

"Gorn. Gorn -- it's got a sort of *woody* quality about it. Gorn. Go-o-orn. Much better than 'newspaper' or 'litter bin'."

They’ll ban stones and bricks too - those can be used to sharpen. And no more glass or obsidian.

Of course the idiocy is almost anything can sharpened on concrete to make a one time weapon. Everyone has done with popsicle sticks.

Shanks are used all the time in prison. There’s no end to the raw material.

Ban everything that can be sharpened? A fools errand.
