Gunpowder Used In Law Enforcement

So far I have listed a number of things that gunpowder is used for. But the one thing that I have not listed is the use of gunpowder in law enforcement. The reason gunpowder is used in law enforcement is because they use handguns to protect the community, nation, and world that each and everyone of us live in. you are probably wondering, what does gunpowder have to do with law enforcement. Well do you remember what I said about cartridges?
You may not believe it but gunpowder is also used in sports as well. Gunpowder is used for the ammunition in skeet shooting/ clay pigeon shooting. In fact, this sport is very much liked by millions of people. Skeet shooting was invented by Charles Davis of Andover, Massachusetts, an avid grouse hunter, in the 1920s as a sport that is called Clock Shooting. The original course was a circle with a radius of about 25 yards with its circumference marked off like the face of a clock and a trap set at the 12 o’clock position.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeet_shooting . …show more content…
Gunpowder is important to fireworks because it is one of the main ingredients in fireworks. Fireworks consist of gunpowder, 75 percent potassium nitrate, 15 percent charcoal, and 10 percent sulfur. The colors in a firework are made from different metals and materials. These materials are also known as metal salts. They use different metal composites to make different colors. You would use the material sodium to give it a very distinct yellow and orange, the materials copper and barium give you both green and blue colors, and the materials calcium and strontium. The chemical energy locked inside the firework is converted into four other kinds of energy. Heat, light, sound, and the kinetic energy of movement.
