RR is right. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. It’s so obvious. Without time travel, nothing changes history.

Really, no firearm "changes" history. No person changes history. History is not made, not changed. The idea of changing history is just a bit too Orwellian, IMO. Just thought I'd point that out.
Another particular firearm that shaped history was Oswald's 6.5 Carcano. To have been alive when that happened is still incredible to me. That's a good point. This is a fun discussion though.
To be determined

History is not changed, it is made. You get one chance, no do-overs to achieve a different outcome. Think about it. What "history" was ever changed?

To change it, you’d have to go back in time.

In other words, there is not nor has there ever been a history after August 1945 where Nagasaki and Hiroshima were not destroyed with atomic bombs.
