History of the Black Powder Guns

Firearms gained importance in Europe in the 14th century. Skilled craftsmen specialized in manufacturing gun powder and shot for military purposes. Black powder weapons were hard to reload, and the process took quite a long time.

An experienced shooter could fire and reload three or four times a minute. Most people could only fire once or twice.

Another problem with black powder weapons was the guns were useless if the powder got wet, even if the powder dried out later.

That made black powder guns generally useless in rainy or wet environments.

The very rudimentary early fire weapons slowly evolved from manual loading eventually to cartridges and ultimately automatic loading.

Today, no military or law enforcement service uses black powder weapons.
