Just for completion's sake with {{tl|Infobox Object}}'s {{{first}}} variable, does anyone know the earliest appearance of [[firearm]]s? I assume that the term as described on that page doesn't include Dalek gunstalks or ray guns. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk: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.

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)
