Laflin & Rand Company introduced their Shotgun Smokeless Powder to the world i
n 1898. It was an enormous step forward from black powder - you only needed about half as much, compared to black powder, and it was even waterproof, according to their advertisements. It was one of the first American smokeless powders to be made available to the public. That same year, the powder was improved, and the name was changed to Infallible because it was just that. That name stuck even as the company that produced it changed from Laflin & Rand to DuPont in 1907.
