Hi There!
Black powder is an explosive powder consisting of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, used chiefly in old guns fired for sport, in fireworks, and for spotting charges in practice bombs; black gunpowder.
In addition to being easily ignited by friction and impact, black powder is also extremely sensitive to flame and spark. It ignites violently when unconstrained and explodes when lit in even the slightest amount of confinement.
Thank you,
Eddie
