Yup. It all depends on the powder used.
Actually, most of the smoke is from the lead bullet lube, not the "smokeless" powder.
Regarding 2 shots vs 5, that is one reason we should not make statements to the police immediately after a shooting. There is a lot of sensory distortion that can occur while in the immediate aftermath of a major adrenaline dump.
