    Why wouldn't you want to know spelling errors? You could correct them then.

    interesting but it is no longer used in guns, liquid propelent is now used also if anyone wants to know the ratio is aprox: 70% nitrate 20% charcoal 10% sulfur <- used to lower the ignition temp. also there are hundereds of difernt compositions of gunpowder but this is the commonest.

    Hewy is right. There are recording accounts by scholars that they were trying to find some sort of elixir. Ended up burning down their homes actually.
