The History of Guns. Q. Who invented the gun? A. The first "gun" was invented one to two million years ago in Java. It was made from a human arm and a handy rock. It was more likely discovered accidently rather than invented. The caveman quickly realized he had discovered something of tremendous importance. He could now injure or maybe kill his enemies without having to touch them. Q. Why was that important? A. Good question. Hand to hand combat was very dangerous for both participants. Remember, they were fighting to the death.....not until somebody got knocked out. There was a lot of biting and kicking and choking and both sides usually got badly injured. The strongest man usually killed the weaker man but at a high price to his own body. The arm and rock gun eliminated that problem. Modern weapons of today are no different. The idea is still the same. To kill your enemy without touching him or him touching you. Jim
