Cannon

(Gunpowder and firearms). The world of weaponry, though, changed with the invention of gunpowder. Initially, the Chinese tried using gunpowder as a medicine, but it made people very ill. Eventually, they realized it could be used as gunpowder in cannons and other weapons (Ross). With the discovery of gunpowder came the invention of the fire arrow with gunpowder on its tip in the year 989 A.D. (Movement of gunpowder). By the 11th century, explosive bombs filled with gunpowder and fired catapults

once, she knew that guns were not made for her use. She disliked the gun so much that she whispered to it the gun as if it were a possession of Satan as soon as it went off. Years later her father completed a replica of the Big Horn Gun. It was a cannon that was used by white merchants

after a firework exploded. They used this new technology to create the first explosive weapons of war: the cannon. This was made by putting a stone ball into a stalk of bamboo and then by detonating gunpowder on one side of the stalk to make the ball shoot out the other side. The cannon was used against the Mongol Empire to stop raids into Chinese lands. Other new weapons came right after the cannon: the fire spears, fire arrows, and grenades.

In verse three it exclaims that there was a; 'Cannon to the right of them, Cannon to the left of them Cannon in front of them.'

Did you know that the first gun was a bamboo cannon? As time went on though guns got better and better. NRA says, “... the greatest firearms inventor of all time, John Moses Browning of Ogden, Utah.” In the next few paragraph we will talk about how guns work and how they have grown to be better. In the first paragraph we will talk about how they all started and the history of how they have progressed. Second paragraph will be about how modern day guns work. And the last paragraph will be about how

The Charge of the Light Brigade was not a good idea because they weren’t fully prepared for a battle like that and they were tremendously outmanned. The Charge was an attack on the Russian by the British but it wasn’t really supposed to happen the British just had communication issues and were given incorrect orders.

to actually fire anything and risk being kicked backwards (par. 20). Even as her father sets up the cannon, Vowell internally degrades her father’s work (par. 22). However, once the first shot goes off, Vowell finds herself taken in by the weapon and, in spite of herself, says “Good shot, Dad.’” (par. 27). Vowell cannot believe herself when she says this or when she admits to herself that the cannon was impressive (par 24 and

Chinese until the 13th century, when the science was passed along the ancient silk trade route to Europe and the Islamic world” (How Gun Powder Changed the World). Gun powder cannons were used because of their significant blow to a target; the French and English used cannons against each other during the Hundred Years’ War. After cannons, came handguns and these changed the way armies fought for the rest of time. “Guns literally put weaponry into the hands of the individual, creating a new class of soldier

likely a cannon-like weapon in the Siege of Seville to overcome their Muslim foes (http://www.themcs.org/weaponry/cannon/cannon.htm) (4). The next major step for firearms was the documented use of cannons, in 1346(http://books.google.com/books?id=ANTSvKj1AZEC&pg=PA541&lpg=PA541&dq=1326+manuscript&source=bl&ots=IaKJ5wFFds&sig=VOUMw6tPnq6vPcC_mLG9qGoYHAE&hl=en&ei=qHCSTe-ALYqV0QGvneXMBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=1326%20manuscript&f=false) (5).
