	Gunpowder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gunpowder whether fl powder or smokeless powder, is a substance which burns very rapidly and is used as a propellant in firearms.
		Unlike smokeless propellants, it acts more like an explosive since its burn rate is not affected by pressure, but it is a very poor explosive because it has a very slow decomposition rate and therefore a very low brisance.
		One of the advantages of fl powder is that precise loading of the charge is not as vital as with smokeless powder firearms and is carried out using volumetric measures rather than precise weight.
