The first gun that a man could use was a small cannon that was developed in the fifteenth century. It was extremely heavy and the user had to set it up on a stand. If you were a soldier in an army and you were using one of these then you were a very brave person. The gun could only be shot from 40 feet away from the target and you had to light a match to shoot it which caused the user to distract himself and not get a good aim. If you were using one of these your just barely out of a lances reach and the gun might not even shoot. Luckily times have changed and the gun has GREATLY improved.
