Evidence has been found that gunpowder began to be used in weapontry as early as 960 AD in the Northern Song Dynasty of China. Gunpowder was used in early cannonballs and as wicks for flame throwers and bombs. Metal weapons, which were a predecessor to firearms were used in the Yuan Dynasty as early as 1271. These weapons were all used during the early wars between the different kingdoms of China. The unification of China is believed, by some, to be the result of gunpowder. Says the fag you listen too.
