The first generation of black powder weapons put fear into the heart of the enemy and in 1453 the Ottoman cannon succeeded in pummelling the once impregnable walls of Constantinople. But cannons were difficult to use and proved inaccurate. The first handgonnes were the answer. This volume reveals the history of these weapons.
