Guns were invented in the 9th century in China when gunpowder, a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, was first developed. The earliest firearms emerged in the form of hand cannons and were used by the Chinese military. The technology spread to the Middle East and Europe, evolving into various designs, including matchlocks and flintlocks. While no single individual can be credited with the invention of guns, this innovation resulted from advancements in Metallurgy and the application of gunpowder in weaponry.
