What would happen if guns weren't invented?

Like...we still go down everything else, we just don't invent guns, ever...we just stick with bows and swords and whatever because "If it ain't broke don't fix it" or something.

Just a random thought that came to me, so I posted about it, cause that's what this site is for right?

There's a show about this on TV right now. But I can't remember what it's called, damn it.

@Fangirlsarah1996: Yes, I knew it was a thing and I wanted to tell you about it so you could watch. 😆 I'm such a dweeb.

Yeah you can ask/share anything. Well I don't think too much would be different. People would still kill eachother. It would just be a little less easier
Look at the Romans who conquered and had an Empire for centuries without the use of guns. We would still have a way in killing each other.

I know...I wasn't saying "Guns are the only thing to ever kill anyone" lol

Well, if we hadn't invented guns, we would have invented something else that would accelerate a tiny piece of lead inside some sort of targeting device and propel it out at great speed toward our enemy.

@silmarilion456: I think you mean discovered? Right? Someone, somewhere would have discovered the explosive properties of black powder.

My point earlier was simply that things progress whether we want them to or not. Wishing that something hadn't been invented or imagining what life would be like without something is futility.

Someone right this moment is working on some new kind of weapon that none of us have heard of. Fortunately, he will most likely fail to perfect it, but the next guy or the one after won't. And we will have some new way to kill each other.

Sorry.

It's exactly what this site is for.
And if history wasn't full of millions and millions of deaths due to "bows and swords" I'd say you might be on to something.
But weapons have nothing to do with man's hardwired need for power, control and conquering.

Exactly.

we'd be stuck with swords and other stabbing weapons as well as bows and arrows and crossbows, but you can wage war very effectively with all of those.

Probably a lot less wars if we had to look our opponents in the eye as they breathed their last🤔⚔

Or alot more disturbed people from having to battle like that.

No guns, no cannons. No cannons, no battles at sea. Pirates would rule the world!!!!
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
The bow and arrow still existed lol

That and siege weapons.

@Fangirlsarah1996: It was a joke lol. But alot of sailors chose to be pirates because the pay was better - that has no relevance either lol 😁

The only other thing I have to say relating to guns is "guns for show, knives for a pro" 😂
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
As a note, I don't believe guns kill people.

People kill people, guns just make the process faster.

I think in great Britain all they mostly use are knives

Or less animals because we'd kill them on mass with pits and poison.

It would be exactly the same except without guns haha

We would still find a better way to kill each other
