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.
