. An automatic gun wasn’t introduced until 1892. The first handgun was called a wheellock and it was developed in Europe in the 1500’s. The first recorded use of a firearm is 1364 and by 1380 handguns were known across Europe. In the 1400’s the matchlock gun was developed. By 1825 percussion cap guns were in use and in 1835 the first Colt revolver was made. In 1840 guns use pin fire cartridges and by 1850 true shotguns were in use.
