Wrong, to purchase, transport and store e-matchs for private non-public use you must have as a minimum a LEUP and a TYPE 4 indoor magazine.
See the passages below from the Orange book subpart b. Some people will argue this and say ematch are not specificly outlined in subpart b, others say they fall under the squib catagory. The ATF could split hairs with you on them and call them squibs or ignitors. Also notice the catch all statement "The term includes, but is not limited to", you can drive a truck through that hole. Already Oxral and other manufactures will not sell to you without a permit. If you do not believe me call your local ATF agent to get their take on it.
Black Powder is a different story, you do and you dont have to have a LEUP depending upon you intended use. If you intend to use it for a gun, sure you can have up to 50lbs. If you want it for a deployment charge then you need the same as you do for the ematches a LEUP and a Type 4 magizine. Pyrogen is also an option for ejection charges, if you keep it contained it should work. Several people are testing it.

to function by explosion. The term includes, but is

This link is not a bad one to look at either.
