Black Powder.
The guns used black powder. It produced volumes of smoke and as highly corrosive to the chambers and barrels.
Black Powder. When the brass cartridge was developed, it also used Black Powder. But the metal used to make the rifle barrels became stronger so they could take more pressure. An improved powder was developed that burned hotter and was smokeless; thus it was called Smokless Powder.

The first ones had six barrels that used .58-caliber ammunition.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here. Generally a shotgun with Damascus barrels (those showing a spiral pattern on the outside, since they were made from spiralling layers of metal) will have been made for black powder only. In their time, fine Damascus barrels were considered a superior option, but caution should be exercised shooting such guns now, and definitely only black powder should be used. If in doubt, get the gun checked by a qualified gunsmith.
When Guy Fawkes was discovered on November 5, 1605, with the 36 barrels of gunpowder hidden in the cellars beneath the House of Lords, the authorities quickly confiscated the barrels to prevent the Gunpowder Plot from being executed. The barrels were intended to be used in a plot to assassinate King James I and blow up the Parliament. Following Fawkes' arrest, the gunpowder was publicly displayed and later destroyed to ensure it could not be used for any further plots. The event led to heightened security measures and the eventual execution of Fawkes and his co-conspirators.
