The two common forms are black powder, and smokeless powder. Both are low explosives, used to propel a bullet. While they arer different chemically, both contain a fuel and an oxidizer mixed together. When ignited, they burn very quickly, producing rapidly expanding gasses (which is what propels the bullet)
