A "flash point" is the temperature at which a LIQUID gives off a vapor that can be ignited. It is NOT the temperature at which ignition takes place. Gunpowder, being a solid, does not HAVE a flash point. It has an ignition temperature around 450 degrees F, but the exact temperature varies with the composition of the gunpowder.

It doesn't. Gunpowder is ignited by the primer. The primer contains a tiny spot of sensitive explosive that detonates when crushed by the firing pin. The heat from that explosion ignites the gunpowder.It does not. In a firearm cartridge, the firing pin crushes the primer of the cartridge. This contains a very small amount of impact sensitive explosive. It explodes, and sends a small jet of flame through the flash hole of the cartridge into the gunpowder, igniting it.
