Firearms

Firearms, of one sort or another, have been around for as long as anybody can remember. The original firearms were products produced and wielded by the famous Gun Mages as their implements of choice. They came into normal use when a Korsolian Engineer determined the secret to their projectile propulsion system, and was able to simulate the process through a highly intricate Acoustic Resonance Chamber. The innovation was far beyond its time, even by Gun Mage standards (Today, even Gun Mages use the Acoustic Resonance Design). The invention of the common firearm revolutionized warfare, which sought to standardize and automate the mass production of such devices. This led to the Resonance Revolution, which drives the current age of steam power and technology wonder.

Types of Firearms


There are four individual types of Firearms common throughout Halindar, based on the firing mechanism and size


 * Revolver Pistol
 * Revolver Rifle
 * Charge-Lock Pistol
 * Charge-Lock Rifle

Revolver Firearms


Revolver Pistol. All revolvers require a 9-shot revolving chamber using magically charged bullets held in acoustic stasis. The pistol is a hand held weapon, similar to a hand crossbow in size. These types of firearms are gaining popularity in Halindar, because they have a amount favorable stopping power compared to their ease of use. Many militaries already issue this weapon to its higher ranks, both a sign of prestige, and an effective means to deter abandonment.





Revolver Rifle. All revolvers require a 9-shot revolving chamber using magically charged bullets held in acoustic stasis. The rifle is a two-handed weapon, similar to a heavy crossbow in size. Compared to a pistol, the rifle is more powerful and has a longer range. Rifles are often found in the hands of trained assassins and elite fighting forces, who can put their considerable cost to the most use.



'''Moon Clip. '''A moon clip is a star-shaped sheet of thin metal, usually spring steel, designed to hold multiple cartidges together as a single unit. This allows the wielder fast reloads and abilty to track the amount of ammo that they are carrying.

Charge-Lock Firearms


The Charge-Lock firearms are the most similar to the original Gun Mage designs. Where the Gun Mage packed six individual chambers with residuum and channeled their own magic through the device, a Charge-Lock uses a magically enhanced stock and a single specially designed residuum charge to blast an array of powerful magic's. There are numerous types of Charge-Lock firearms, limited only by their designs creativity (or deviousness).
