Gunpowder testing typically involves analyzing residues left behind by a fired gun in a controlled environment. This includes collecting samples from the weapon, ammunition, and the shooting scene to determine the composition and characteristics of the gunpowder. Testing methods may include chemical analysis, spectroscopy, and microscopy to identify the unique chemical markers of gunpowder and trace them back to a specific source or manufacturer.

an ingredient in gunpowder is sulphur
fireworks are usually made in china, (as a lot of things are) and they are basically gunpowder, sulfate, charcoal, nitrate, fuses, and colors (to make them appear colorful) so when they are lit, the fuse burns all the way down, hits the gunpowder, and the force blows it up into the air (also causing it to, more or less, explode into colors)
No, gunpowder is not magnetic.
