Cordite in a sentence as a noun

I think /cordite/ tried to make a sarcastic joke.

Are you asking about cordite or gunpowder in genneral?

The only time that has happened to me was when I was on a flight out of Atlanta after taking my crew to a gun range to shoot some auto's. I'm gonna guess the cordite burns on my shirt and residue on my hands probably had something to do with it.
