Summary/Abstract: The first mention of firearms use in Poland dates from 1383, and relates to the siege of the city Pyzdry in Great Poland. A stone floor that had been fired from a bronze cannon crashed through the gate and killed the priest standing next to the gate of St. Nicholas Biechowo. But the first entries on handguns come from the year 1410, which were named in hand jacks from the Krakow city arsenal
