https://mocomi.com/ presents: Gun Facts for Kids
Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese in the 9th century.
The first gun was made in 1000 AD in China.
It was made up of bamboo and used gunpowder to fire a spear.
The earliest surviving firearm has been found from Otepaa, Estonia and it dates to at least 1396.
In the late 14th century, smaller and portable hand-held cannons were developed, creating in effect the first smooth-bore personal firearm.
During the early modern age, these hand-held cannons evolved into the flintlock rifle, then the breech loader and finally the automatic weapon.
The shooter poured loose powder down the barrel. A lead ball projectile is then seated on top of the powder charge by means of a ramrod.
This was later transformed into basic features of the gun: a barrel made of metal, high-nitrate gunpowder, and a projectile which occludes the muzzle so that the powder charge exerts its full potential in propellant effect.
The high-pressure gas is generated by combustion, usually by lighting the gunpowder. This makes the bullet shoot from the barrel at a very high speed.
A repeating firearm is a firearm which can be fired more than once between chargings and holds more than one cartridge.
A revolver has a rotating cylinder which holds a fixed number of cartridges; the cylinder "revolves" to align each chamber with the rear of the barrel.
The Gatling gun is the first successful rapid firearm used during the American Civil war in the 1860s. It was operated by a hand crank with multiple rotating barrels.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
