The Bahmani Sultanate was the first Indian sultanate to use and invent gunpowder weapons, in 1347. Their firearms were more advanced than those of the Mamluks of Egypt and European kingdoms during the same era. The first recorded use of firearms in South Asia occurred at the Battle of Adoni in 1368. In the Deccan, the Bahmani Sultanate, led by Mohammed Shah I, employed a train of artillery against the Vijayanagara Empire under Harihara II. Due to the efficient artillery of the Bahmani Sultanate, they achieved exemplary victory against the Vijayanagara Empire, which was still using outdated weapons.
Gunpowder weaponry, including muskets, hand cannons, cannons, and war mortars, were employed by the Bahmani Sultanate in South India during the 14th to the 15th centuries.[1][2]
