The first gun-like devices can be traced back to China during the 9th century. The earliest known example is the "fire lance," which was essentially a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder and projectiles such as pellets or shrapnel. When ignited, the gunpowder would create a burst of flame and propel the projectiles forward. These early firearms gradually evolved over time, with advancements in technology leading to the invention of more sophisticated and effective firearms. The development of firearms continued throughout the centuries, leading to the muskets, rifles, and handguns that are familiar to us today. So, while the exact date of the first gun's use is uncertain, firearms have been in existence for over a thousand years.
