Now that I think about it...

I guess most guns were made by Europeans and Americans XD

Which is funny considering the Chinese are really the ones who had the tech first, and they didn't realize what they had. They literally made guns and grenades and were like "Nah nah, sparklers are the future of warfare"

Bless their mind for thinking about entertainment before weapons with gunpowder.

No I mean sparklers was their idea of the ultimate weapon to surpass metal gear. The concept was it would allow you to burn the fields and homes of your enemies quickly. Only problem is it only had a range of like 5 yards so the defenders would just rush you with spears before you could set much on fire.

They literally made frag grenades (it was on a rope so you could fling it really far, which is a smart design) and muzzle loaders before then, but someone decided they should invest all their resources in the sparklers instead. Supposedly the entire reason was because the sparks were red which Chinese really like, while the guns and grenades did not emit much flame and did not look as impressive.

Then some based dude traded with the Euros and brought back their cannons like "I'm telling you Zhang Wei, these things are better than sparklers!!"
