[edit] Information

Though no one can deny that the gun changed history, few realize how long it took to do so. From the time gunpowder was discovered until guns became effective, reasonably reliable and widespread, nearly a millenium passed.

EARLY GUNS is a fascinating chronicle of the drive to perfect the hand-held firearm. Visit some of the most expansive gun collections in the world for an up-close look at eight centuries of gun technology, from the very first "hand cannons" to the 19th century flintlock musket. Military historians reveal how these new weapons changed military strategy, hastening the end of the age of knights and armor and forcing commanders to find ways to fire the new weapons en masse to compensate for their frustrating inaccuracy. And examine some of the pivotal conflicts, including the American Revolution, which proved that the gun was the weapon of the future.

It's the definitive look at the surprising birth of the most prevalent weapon on Earth.
