This pistol has two barrels stacked on top of each other. While only one can be used at a time, changing between the barrels is very fast. The bottom barrel fires regular ammunitions while the upper barrel fires Alchemical Ammunitions used to administer special decotions to weaken foes or bolster allies.
While attuned to this weapon, you can use it as a spellcastiong focus for your artficer spells
You can swap between barrels using a bonus action, while using a barrel, you cannot fire from the other.
Loading the alchemical barrel takes a bonus action. A single piece of Alchemical Ammunition may be loaded in the Alchemical Barrel. You may load the Alchemical Barrel, then swap back to the regular barrel to fire the Alchemical Ammunition at a later time.
While swapping to the Alchemical Barrel, you can use the same bonus action to load an alchemical ammunition.
You only need to see an ally and have a direct line of fire to administer them an Alchemical Ammunition. To administer an Alchemical Ammunition to a foe, you need to hit them with a ranged attack.
If you are an Alchemist Artificer, you can choose to create your Experimental Elixirs as Alchemical Ammunitions instead of in a regular flask. You can choose to create an Alchemical Ammunition or flask independently for each Experimental Elixir you can create.
It’s up to you to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldn’t have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Player’s Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have enough ammunition to keep the weapons working while mastering their use.
