Topic: Repeater Pistols and Repeater Handguns in Medieval and Rennaisance eras

[ProFF7]

so we know how they look and how they perform rules wise, in the Empire.

and in real life, there were equivalents. in the past, i found some webpages with info and images of repeater pistols and handguns. i did a search but couldnt find many things.

Repeater Pistol:

i found an interesting firing mechanism i didnt know about, the "Roman Candle Gun"

this differs a little from the repeater pistols in warhammer (which look more like revolvers) but i guess rules wise, the effect would be very similar.

i once saw a revolving repeater handgun, but couldnt find it anymore.

anyone has more interesting info or links?

I got several books on firearms from the renaissance, and they have some imaginative people in charge of guns... some of them are, like the final fantasy style, a gun-blade. It's a sabre with a pistol attached to the hilt. there's even multi barreled rifles and shotguns, and all sorts of crazy things. of course these are all renaissance era weapons, and i've only used terms such as 'pistols' and 'rifles' and 'shotguns' to convey the image of the weapons. They all operate with blackpowder and shot. But yeah... crazy stuff.

it is.  Sword-pistols were fairly common, often on hunting weapons.  I've also seen pistol-shields, with the gun firing out the boss of the shield.

Yes, and those (shield-guns) were common even as far away as Tzar Michael's/Alexei's Russia.

The people in the Renaissance were awful inventive.
