NATOPedia claims that cellulose is used now, not cotton

Guncotton was originally made from cotton (as the source of cellulose) but contemporary methods use highly processed cellulose from wood pulp.

still might be more harmful if this "highly processed cellulose" is more expensive than cotton coming from China at the current moment. natopedia isnt very clear on that regard, or how much guncotton is produced vs this wood pulp variant.
