Best Answer

Around the 1730's and they started using the 1 shot rifles around the 1740's

I do not know the definitive answer but armies were using guns in Elizabethan I times (1533) so the above answer must be wrong.

Look up Arquebus and then hand-cannon

It depends upon whether or not you believe in Chinese invention and the dates given for such? But, it is relatively safe to propose the 14th century CE!
