Forum:First use of firearms in the DWU

Just for completion's sake with Infobox Object's variable, does anyone know the earliest appearance of firearms? I assume that the term as described on that page doesn't include Dalek gunstalks or ray guns. -- Tybort (talk page) 12:09, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Going just by memory, I believe the bad guys in Millenius in The Keys of Marinus threaten Susan with some kind of gun. Shambala108 talk to me 15:14, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Depends what you mean by "firearm". If you mean the word literally, then it's The Reign of Terror.  If you mean anything that has a gun shape and is a range weapon" then it's The Daleks'', since obviously Daleks have guns.  11:12: Sun 08 Apr 2012


 * I'm discounting The Daleks, and other "gun-like" energy weapons, as the very first line mentions "chemical explosives" and being "usually human" in origin. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:27, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
