While we have terms like "a flock of birds" or "a herd of elephants," gunpowder is typically referred to in terms of its quantity (e.g., a barrel of gunpowder, a pound of gunpowder).
If you're looking for a more poetic or evocative term, you could use something like:
* A blast of gunpowder
* A charge of gunpowder
* A cloud of gunpowder
Ultimately, the best term depends on the context and the specific effect you want to achieve.
