Best Answer

The earliest known gun is a hand gonne, which was a kind of a small cannon on a stick that was fired by touching the flash hole with a lit fuse held in the free hand.

It was replaced by a matchlock which had the fuse on a pivoting arm attached to the gun. This was replaced by flintlocks, and eventually percussion locks.
