The Invention i would like to talk is the invention of the gun. The gun was a powerful weapon. They wanted something that could do massive damage. The gun helped hunters alot to make there job way easier. Also the army wanted something to help them out this little pistol really helped the peopled shoot things and not have to carry around this big gun.

In 1718, James Puckle of London, England, demonstrated his new invention, the "Puckle Gun," , single-barreled flintlock gun fitted with a multishot revolving cylinder. This gun could be shot nine times per minute compared to the musket The musket only be loaded and fired three times per minute. One of the two main reasons for creating this gun was intended to use against the Christian enemies. The other reason was to use it for the Muslim Turks. This gu was suppose to be way more painful than what they used to have which was a regular little whip or beaten.
