@Jim Watson There's no sense making this ridiculous. I have cited the source for the production of potassium nitrite post combustion in gun powder. You have not. If you want to believe that there is no potassium nitrite and/or that there are no corrosive salts of potassium in black powder residue, feel free. But don't ask others to share that erroneous belief.
No, you cited a reaction for the decomposition of potassium nitrate in the absence of the other reactants in gunpowder.
I showed a general equation for gunpowder and qualitative analysis of the output.
