After the discovery of metal, Man used it to arm them with the weapons they previously created to make them even more dangerous, causes more damage and more effective in killing enemies.

Make types of handheld guns exists including machine guns, sniper rifles and pistols. All have different types of uses but all lead to a common goal, to kill.
