It was made for wars. Think about it who would of had money to find out how to make one, People in power. People in power want to stay in power so they need things to kill those who try and interfere with there power. Hunters did not have money to invest in weapons to help them.\n\n\nIf gunpowder blows up, maybe we can kill with it.\n\nhttp://riv.co.nz/rnza/hist/gun/firstgun.htm\nhttp://armscollectors.com/gunhistorydates.htm

Can you describe the gun?

there is no actual history of the rifle, any rifle can be used for sniping. Snipers were actually british hunters who hunted for snipes (a bird with acute senses for spotting danger).

Somewhere around 1249, the Chinese of the Song Dynasty began to load early gunpowder in the middle of thick bamboo as a projection firearm, firing clay pellets like a shotgun.  There is no record of the first victim.

Masterlock.  Tried to shoot one off once, and it didn't work.  They're tough

The cave men! They used to kick around an animal's bladder filled with wet moss as a form of entertainment!Of course this was done AFTER the animal was killed, cleaned and eaten for dinner. They used all parts of an animal, for food, clothing and entertainment!

Guns don't kill people.... People kill people, if not guns then knives or even a pen.

swordsmen.  I have a high respect for the sword and those who would use it.  The sword is the only weapon specifcally made for killing another man and you have to be so close to him that doing just that will either kill you deep inside or liberate you.

In the 1920s, the company got a letter from a fan who mentioned using the knife to kill a bear. While he wrote "kill a bear", it was barely legible as "k a bar", hence the name KABAR.\nThe knife was first made in the early 1920s.
