Potassium cyanide is a poison, it used to be available in chemical supply houses for nominal fees! Potassium Nitrate is the active ingredient in Smokeless powder- which of course has criminal applications- though quite legal for sporting ammunition. Black Powder uses Sodum Nitrate or saltpeter ( origin of odd term unknown) but smokeless uses Potassium Nitrate.
