The first hand gun, or as they were called then Hand Cannon, or Hand Gonne was seen on the battle field in 1363 during Edward III's reign. They weren't favored due to their short range effectiveness, and the difficulty of firing them. They were also seen in England around 1375, and in Italy around 1397.
