Yes it is Gunpowder

[wb78963]

This is what it is , an explosive that we use as a propeller.
Call it Gunpowder because these guys make it and should know what they are making
It is NOT a flammable solid, that stuff is mostly rust that burns
Any questions? have been at this game a long time

It was gonnepowder when Dupont was Ye Olde Duponte.

It was called gunpowder when it was the only powder available. when other powders became available the term "gunpowder" became ubiquitous, representing all gun powders. black and smokeless.

Sir, the reason for my ??? Is that the attachments you had in your Original post did not open. Therefore we couldn’t understand your post.

Dupont stopped making gunpowder in 1975.

I guess if Goex, Scheutzen, Swiss, and all the firearm manufacturers call it black powder then that is good enough for me!

I am interested in the "explosive we use as a propeller" part.
Kinda picturing a cross between a doodlebug and a punt gun
