A good question- one we don't really have a good answer for. This took place about 1000 years ago, and we don't have a lot of records. The earliest guns were crude cannon- and the first bullet may have been a large arrow or spear- so wood and bronze (or iron). The first cannon balls were usually stone- and later iron, brass, etc. Lead came to be used for smaller bullets- that had been used for projectiles for slings- since it was cheap, easy to melt and cast, and was dense enough to retain energy.
