Armaments and military techniques have undergone a process of adaptation, regeneration and more or less continuous development, and the evolution of the manufacture and use of firearms has been a milestone in the history of militarism. In this regard, the present study, citing historical reports, seeks to investigate the emergence of the modern phenomenon of firearms in the military organization of the Aghkuyunlu Turkmen period.The research method is descriptive-analytical and relies on library and documentary sources.The central question of the present study is how did the firearms affect the political-military developments of the Aghkuyunlu Turkmen period? The results of research show that from 823 AH / 1420 AD onwards - about 100 years before the battle of Chaldoran-Aghkuyunlus were familiar with the modern phenomenon of firearms, including cannons, and used them in their wars.The use of firearms in this period, in addition to causing fear and weakening the morale of the enemy military force and retreating the enemy, could be effective in changing the fate of wars and ultimately change the balance of power in the political-military arena.
