Hi, I’m Fred the firearm and I’m going to show you my family tree! From hundreds of years ago to today!

Hello, I’m Harry the Heilongjiang hand cannon. I am the oldest firearm discovered (the 1390s). Although I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn door, what I lack in accuracy I more than makes up for in firepower. With a one-inch wide caliber, I am more of a cannon than a firearm.

Hi, I’m Al the Arquebus. I am Henry the Heilongjiang’s younger brother. I was used in the 1400's. I have slightly better accuracy, and I am not quite so heavy (but don’t tell him I said that.) Unfortunately, I don’t pack quite as much of a punch as Henry.

Hi, I’m Macy the Musket. I am Henry the Heilongjiang’s daughter. I was used in the 1500's-1800's. I have very poor accuracy and I am about the same weight Unfortunately I don’t pack quite as much of a punch as my dad but I pack more than my uncle! I’m also a great handle for bayonets!

Hi, I’m Larry the Long Rifle (c. 1700-1900). I am Al the Arquebus’s son. I have very good accuracy because I can put a spin on a bullet - similar to putting a spin on a football. I am a little heavier. Unfortunately, I don’t pack quite as much of a punch as my cousin, Macy the Musket.

Hi, I’m Marv the Minni Ball. I am Larry the Long Rifle’s son. I allow them to have much better accuracy and loading speed. I paved the way for the modern bullet.
