	A variety of gunpowder was manufactured throughout the world. In the early 16th century, the three most common types that could be found in [[Constantinople]] were '''Indian gunpowder''', '''Arabic gunpowder''', and '''British gunpowder''' in increasing potency. Fitted into average handheld bombs, they bore blast radii of two ~~metres~~, three ~~metres~~, and four ~~metres~~ respectively. These three types of gunpowder were the ones utilized by the Ottoman Assassins, who recognized that the weaker types of gunpowder were preferable in situations where the risk of [[civilian]] casualties was high.<ref name="ACR" />		A variety of gunpowder was manufactured throughout the world.
