Firearm

Similar to the blunderbuss, the firearm, also called the arquebus, lacks the flaring barrel and fires a single ball similar to those used with pistols. Throughout the Old World, especially in Tilea, Estalia, and Bretonnia, firearms are coming into favour. However, these weapons are usually unreliable, prone to jams and misfires. A firearm requires only a single shot of powder per firing and fires one ball when loaded with standard shot.
