Without the materials to produce structurally sound barrels the risks of the chamber rupturing are going to dissuade people from using them. Swords and spears on the other hand don't blow up in your face. | |

I didn't even think about who in society would be making all the guns, and what the ramifications of that would be. This would make it so complex guns are prevalent, and the only melee weapons available are crude and made of poor materials, like wooden spears or glass/scrap metal shivs, while still allowing the incredible wealthy/powerful access to high quality blades and armor because they can just pay (or threaten) the weapon smiths for them. Thank you so much! <3 | |
