As a gun nut, I've been imagining how firearms in this fantasy world would look like. At first, I always thought guns in this world are arquebuses or other muzzleloaders that fit the late medieval era setting. But then, a small detail in Elly's new CG changed everything…
IS THAT A REVOLVER I SEE?! And that's only her "simple gun", the weakest gun in the game?! Looks like firearm technology in this world is more advanced than I thought. But how could that be? Almost no one uses guns anymore so there shouldn't be any financial incentive to develop such weapon…
Ah screw it! I'm gonna headcanon that whatever gunsmiths left in this world has been secretly developing firearm technology either as their hobby or to preserve their tradition! >:D
Simple Gun
A simple .357 revolver. The attachments need to be mounted with screws.
Improved Gun
Upgrade the frame to fire the more powerful .44 magnum. Also improve the grip for better handling
Accurate Gun
Installed a longer barrel with a compensator for better accuracy and stability. Also added Picatinny rails so it's easier to mount attachments.
Gold Gun
Paint the whole frame in gold and upgrade it to fire .500 S&W, a round so powerful that it can drop a grizzly bear with a single shot!
Rune Rifle
Even though it's called a "rifle". I decide to make it a smooth-bore dart gun since it's established that the runes it fires are fragile, and a rifled barrel could damage them. The runes are propelled with pressurized air, so they have a lower velocity and deals less damage compared to other bullets.
Steam Gun Mark 1.1
A steampunk machinegun. According to Akai, the automatic firing is achieved with the steam mechanism installed on the gun, not the gunpowder. As a result, the cartridges wouldn't need extra propellent thus can be made smaller, allowing the magazine to hold a surprisingly large number of rounds for its size.
Fire Musket
The gun itself is just a standard rifled musket. What makes it deal fire damage is the incendiary musket ball it fires. The specially designed bullet is filled with phosphorus powder and there's a tiny hole on the outer shell plugged with solder. As the bullet travels down the barrel the solder will melt under the heat, allowing the phosphorus powder to spill out of the hole and get ignited. The result will be a bullet with a trail of flames flying toward the enemy.
Burning Hand Cannon
Good old double-barrel shotgun with fancy hand guard & stock, firing a special "Dragon's Breath" incendiary shell. The shell is filled with magnesium pellets that burn REALLY hot. As you pull the trigger a jet of flames will erupt from your barrel, à la flamethrower, bathing your target in fire and cooking them to crisp.
Widowmaker
A shoulder-mounted railgun that deals pure physical damage. The Electric Flame spawned in fire dungeon was sealed inside the red flower crystal to serve as a battery through the piezoelectric effect. The electricity will run through the rails and propel the projectile with immense electromagnetic force, causing it to fly toward the target in Mach 6 and deal massive damage on impact. Meanwhile, the “spikes” on top will produce a force field which increases the user’s defense. The red flower crystals cast with damage reduction magic are used on the rails to conduct electricity and withstand wear. The scales from Salamander's tail are used to insulate the user from heat & electricity.
Frozen Nightmare
Special Sawn-off shotgun firing custom-made “freezing shells”. Instead of pellets, the shell is loaded with a slug carved out of dry ice, ready to give the targets some nasty frostbite on top of their wounds. While not in use, the dry ice slug is stored in a portable cooling box. The chamber of the gun is also cast with ice magic to help preserving the dry ice.
Cursed Rifle
A rifle that draws its power from a strange orb. Some theories suggest the orb is made by the same Undead Lord who's been plaguing Begus for years, but its true origin remains a mystery. The orb is filled with dark energy that couldn’t be harnessed by normal mages because the curse will pollute their flow of magic and devastate their mortal flesh. Therefore, the blacksmiths decided to install it on a weapon, but they soon found out the dark energy is so strong that it’ll slowly rot away the material it touches thus it’s not ideal to put it on melee weapons. In the end they finally found a solution: Putting it on an ammo case and having it curse the bullets. Bullets are more resilient against corrosion compared to arrows and are still expendable. If the case is rusted too much by the orb, the orb can be transferred to a new one which can be produced rather cheaply. Overall it's still not the most efficient way to utilize the orb's dark power, but it'll have to do.
Target Scope
A little beat up due to being kept in the dungeon for a long time. The performance is unhindered, however.
Nice Target Scope
A brand-new scope straight out of Akai's workshop.
Magic Target Scope
A scope utilizing target magic.
Flashlight Attachment
Just a tactical flashlight. That's it really.
Gun Mechanic Upgrade
Replacement parts made of special lightweight materials created by heating strange black liquid, which we Muggle call "plastic".
Flame Thrower Add-on
After some experiments, Akai discovered that by mixing Red Slime Essence with other combustible liquid, she can create a sticky flammable half-liquid which she nicknamed "napalm". This new substance turned out to be the perfect fuel for her miniature flamethrower that can be mounted on a handheld firearm. As napalm can stick to the target, even just a small amount of it spat out of this tiny sprayer can inflict some serious burn.
Water Tank Attachment
This miniaturized nozzle isn't just some water hole. The container is filled with highly pressurized water. The jet of water is so strong that it's even capable of cutting through steel plate!
Frozen Muzzle
Based on Akai’s design. But instead of flammable fuel, this contraption is filled with a special sticky liquid made by mixing Blue Slime Essence with liquid nitrogen, capable of freezing the target, dealing ice damage.
Muzzle Upgrade
This muzzle extension is mainly used to make other attachments like a muzzle brake and stuff. As it extends the barrel maybe it can improve the accuracy & velocity by juuuust a little bit, making each shot just a little bit more powerful. But hey, every bit counts.
Golden Muzzle
An advanced replacement barrel with polygonal rifling, painted in gold to show how awesome it is. Compared to traditional rifling, polygonal rifling provides a better gas seal and less friction for bullets, resulting in higher velocity & accuracy and thus increasing the damage.
That's it for now. I might add more in the future if there are more guns being added to the game. ;)
