There are primarily three types of gunpowder: black powder, smokeless powder, and flash powder. Black powder, the oldest type, consists of a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Smokeless powder, developed in the late 19th century, produces significantly less smoke when ignited, making it more effective for modern firearms. Flash powder is a fast-burning mixture used primarily in fireworks and special effects, rather than in firearms.
