I don't understand why people used the first guns, and quickly replaced swords, and bows with it. From what I learned in books and school, muskets(revolution war), and handcannons (medival?) were increadibly inaccurate, slow, (takes over a minute to reload) and if you add too much powder, the gun explodes, and add too little, the gun won't work, and they were useless in rain. Crossbows seemed better, as they took little to no training to use, and they are accurate, and more reliable. I don't know much about guns, but I do know that early guns were very crappy. Modern Day guns are better than bows in almost every way, and they are very advanced, but seeing how horrible early guns were, what made people so trigger happy? Maybe I am missing something. (I am no gun expert.)
