Is gunpowder used in war today?

There are two kinds of gunpowder, "black powder" and "smokeless powder." I put them in quotes because all gunpowder is black, and all of it smokes when it burns. Both are used in modern warfare. Black powder is primarily used as a delay element in other explosives. If you want to build an explosive device that has a time delay between initiating the explosion and the explosion occurring - hand grenades are a prime example - you put a column of black powder between the initiator and the explosive. Smokeless powder is the propellant in every rifle, shotgun, pistol, shoulder-fired rocket, artillery round, etc., etc., etc., used in the world today.
