Gunpowder came before the gun and was made in China. It was first used to treat skin infections and the in the 10 th century the Chinese Fire Lance was developed. This is considered by historians as the first gun. By the 13 th century gunpowder had reached Europe and the cannon was produced in 1320 in Italy. The cannon was the primary use of the gunpowder until the lock was developed in the 15th century. Samuel Colt is given the credit for the invention of the pistol.

around the 17 hundreds :) It depends on what guns you are referring to. Guns were first invented in the 1300s.
Right after the first guns were made.
@ 700 years ago
We do not know the name of the first gunmaker, not the exact date. The first guns were made 900-1000 years ago in China.
No one knows. The first guns (and first bullets) were made over 1000 years ago, and there are simply no records. Sorry-
Be more specific. The first ten he invented, or the first ten made by BAC?
Yes, there were. Not a lot, but the first guns were made sometime between about 1100 and 1300. (Best guess- dates are not exact)
Guns were not first made in 1845. They go back to around the year 1100. Guns are used for defense, military action, and hunting. Or, in the words of Homer Simpson, for defending your family, hunting dangerous or tasty animals, and keeping the King of England out of your face.
Long guns and hand guns.
Between 600 and 700 years ago.
guns were made for self defense and hunting
