Was gunpowder the first known chemical explosive to china?
Gunpowder was first invented in China no later than about A.D. 850. For hundreds of years, it was used mainly to create fireworks.

What weapons originated from gunpowder?
Any weapon that was used to launch a projectile had its origins in gunpowder. The Chinese use gunpowder for rockets, bombs and for cannons. Later, the Europeans used gunpowder to develop more sophisticated projectiles and firearms such as guns, cannons, and handgrenades. Our current use of rifles and missiles were born out of the early use of gunpowder. ***Actually, the first sentence of the above answer is incorrect. Projectile weapons pre-dated gunpowder by thousands of years. Arrows launched from bows, stones thrown by slings, rocks, sticks, boomerangs, etc., are all projectile weapons which do not rely on gunpowder or its precursor, black powder.Answer Actually, black powder is gunpowder. Modern firearms use a variety of propellants largely based on nitrocellulose of which British Cordite was an early example. No modern firearms use "gunpowder" as such. Cordite came in strands like spaghetti and most modern propellants are in granular form.
