Archaeologists Found the Oldest Gun in the World (Video)

During the archaeological excavations in Canna Creek in Colorado, scientists have come across parts of a 16th-century Spanish gun, the oldest in the world, the Fox News television channel reported.

The find could prove to be proof that the Spanish colonists arrived in America much earlier than was supposed.

Close to the gun, archaeologists have also found parts of the first defenses - something like the ancestors of the bulletproof vests. Scientists at the University of Colorado suggest that the gun found may be the forerunner of all medieval muskets. It is possible to establish an absolute record among firearms.
