Gunpowder is the explosive component that propels the "bullet" from the gun. The answer is, yes gunpowder is still as important to the operation of a gun as gasoline is to the operation of a car. Just like gasoline for cars, gunpowder has changed and gotten better at what it does over the past century (or centuries), so the gunpowder used in modern guns is not the same exactly as the gunpowder used , for example, in the civil war, but it is still gunpowder and it is still necessary to operate a gun.
