The history of shotguns is an interesting story. It can be traced back to the 12th century when black powder was first discovered and used in China for fireworks and weaponry. In 1835, the percussion cap system was invented by Joshua Shaw and William Forsyth; this new invention made it possible for firearms to use self-contained cartridges instead of loose gunpowder, which was more dangerous due to its propensity for leaking out of pre-measured amounts. This led to the development of breech loading firearms
