Use this feat to represent owning and having equipped any of the following:
Pistol. 150gp. The smallest and most compact firearm, the pistol is also one of the rarest firearms, as most people not only prefer firearms with longer range, but the pistol itself requires greater craftsmanship to craft. Despite its short range, a pistol is still a formidable weapon, and is often used as a self-defense weapon. Due to this, pistol grips often have metal butts that allow them to be used as effective clubs.
Blunderbuss. 75gp. The shortest of the long guns, a blunderbuss only has a barrel around one foot long, sometimes less, which often ends in a flared muzzle. Most blunderbusses have a full stock, but some are made with only a pistol grip.
Musket. 100gp. A marskman's gun, a musket has long barrel three to four feet long and a heavy wooden stock, allowing for greater accuracy than all other firearms.
Handgunne. 200gp. The most basic firearm, a handgunne is a miniature cannon fitted on the end of a long pole. This pole functions as the weapon's "fork" for the purpose of hooking, and is integrated into the weapon.
All have the following weapon property:
Firearm: The firearm property functions as the Ammunition and Loading properties, and also requires powder to fire. Reloading a firearm requires two hands.
Furthermore not being proficient with with firearms is more detrimental than other weapons when operating them. Any creature that does not has proficiency with firearms risks misfire and takes longer to reload them. On a natural 1 or 2 on any attack rolls made with the weapon the weapon misfires and jams, needing an action to unjam it before it can be fired again. Also creatures operating firearms that they are not proficient need to forego an action to load a firearm before it can be fired again.
As most firearms ignite their powder with a slow burning cord match, a firearm also has a 25% chance (1-5 on your attack roll) of not firing in heavy rain, and a 10% chance (1-2 on your attack roll) of not firing in light rain. A firearm that does not fire wastes the smokepowder used for that shot, but does not waste any ammunition.
