The Chinese are credited with making gun powder and shooting rockets. One of the first firearms was a pipe device that had a hole in the butt end. Gun powder was pored in the barrel along with a projectile. there was no stock. You just held onto the barrel or tube. A match lit the powder in the hole in the rear and it fired. So the first firearm was neither a pistol or a rifle but a variation or forerunner of both of them.
