Demolition Ranch puts the flame on it:
If you own guns and have never pulled a case to light the powder I’d be very surprised. Additionally if you weren’t surprised / disappointed it didn’t explode in a manly fireball I’d also be very surprised (Blackpowder is quick, but I never had any of that). I literally thought my entire face was going to be melted off Terminator 2 style as soon as the free John Barleycorn matches I was no doubt using made contact. What happened to free wooden matches places would give out anyway? That was classy. As a kid who liked to light stuff on fire, I liked that.
Thoughts?

Any black powder (or it’s substitutes) burn a lot faster than that, so Wile E. Coyote might have had something……. if he wasn’t such a Democrat.
Actual old school black-powder will pretty much blow up if you do that to it. I tried to use some to light a fire once, being aware of how slowly smokeless burns, and needless to say l lost my eye brows. True story bro’s!
straightest powder line I’ve seen…
the best are the black powder pellets
