History of the modern day gun?

You really want a lot!!!!! yes the Chinese made some of the early guns but the true gun was made in Europe the early ones were just bronze tubes on a 4-5 ft.pole :you would pour the power down the barrel then a wad of cloth and then the ball. pact it in . now put the wick in to the small hole in the back of the barrel lite it and bang!!the net guns were called match lock guns now we have a handle (pistol grip) made of wood connected to the barrel we also have a trigger and a hammer you now pulled back the hammer till it locked the trigger you now had a slow burning wick attached to the hammer pull the trigger and the wick would come down in to a pan fulled with powder with a hole to the inside of the barrel the wick would light the powder and bang!!! next gun is a flint lock this gun is just like the match lock but now you didn't need to worry about your wick going out this is were the saying comes form (keep you wick dry).but now no fire is needed nw the hammer holds a piece of flint this will strike the pan and case a spark and bang!!! now comes rifling cutting a twist inside of the barrel this makes the bullet spin though the air making it fly straighter and fly far.The flint was later replaced with a small fireing cap this type of gun was around for over 50 years. the next gun is the rear loaded cased bullet guns now the powder is in cased in a jacket or caseing of b or copper with the bullet atached (modern bullet) these were loaded in the back of a cylinder usaly six bullet (a six shooter) Colt 45, Webly and 38 spesal.now you can d fire six shoots in seconds.next is the automadic gun these guns use psychics in their workings.(for every action there is an eilel and opasite reaction) then the gun is fired the force of the bullet pushes back the slide and this thouhs out the caseing and a new bullet takes it's place in the chamber (barrel) in a thoandeth of a second. these guns inclued 45s the luger, the browning and the machine gun. this is basicly were we are today.
