Gun Safety
There are five main rules to gun safety. There are also other rules, equally as important but are more self explanitory.
 * 1) Always treat guns as if they are loaded. Even if you know that they aren't, this is an extremely important rule.
 * 2) Never point a gun at anything unless you fully intend to shoot it.This means don't point it at people, animals, even inanimate objects, regardless of if it is loaded or not.
 * 3) Keep your finger off the trigger, unless you are going to pull it. This is called trigger discipline. The reason behind this is if you trip, sneeze, slip or anything you could end up shooting yourself or someone around you. It can also cause a negligent discharge (the weapon firing against your will due to carelessness).
 * 4) Always be sure of what is beyond your target. This means, when you are firing a weapon, always make sure you know your surroundings, so if there is anyone around then you won't accidentally hit them, or hit anything near them.
 * 5) Keep the gun unloaded and the safety on. Unless you are going to immediately shoot the weapon then remember this rule.
 * Never mix firearms with alcohol or drugs.
 * Ensure you do not use a firearm unless you understand or are under the instruction of someone who understands the operation of the firearm
 * Always use the correct ammunition
 * Always foster a responsible attitude towards firearm safety
 * Never be afraid to stop and question an unsafe practice

History of Firearms
Most of what you need to know about gun history, you can find here here.

 * In 1894 the first semi-automatic pistol was unveiled, the C-93
 * By 1919, the first semi-automatic rifles had been produced, one of these being the M1 Garand
 * In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov invented the AK-47, it's variants the most widely used assault rifles today
