Considered one of the most frequent and controversial implements of destruction in video games and real life, guns are devices that fire projectiles with explosive force.
The development of guns began over one thousand years ago, with the discovery of gunpowder by the Chinese. Its use and refinement for military purposes created weapons with explosive and fiery power, including early forms of grenades and mines. As time progressed, gunpowder was used for launching projectiles towards enemy forces at high velocity, and firearms were created. Technological advancements over the centuries have created countless varieties of guns, large and small, dangerous and non-lethal, and have improved their usability tremendously. Additional methods of propulsion, such as pressure or magnetism, are used to fire projectiles in certain types of guns. The term gun may also be applied to devices that appear and fire similarly to guns, even if they do not fire actual projectiles (light guns, for example).
The lethality inherent in many guns makes their use and ownership an extremely controversial subject in real life. This controversy extends to video games, where games that employ guns often face scrutiny and criticism for promoting violence. Some critics even go as far to say that first-person shooters teach players how to use guns in reality. While such claims have yet to be proven, guns still play a key role in the argument made against violent video games.
