Path of the Ballistic Warrior

In an era where firearms are more common it is easier to put down a brute from afar. The battlefield no longer favors brute strength but innovation. A dark age where barbarians might go extinct some warriors refuse the status quo. Abandoning their simple weapons and tradition these warriors use the lethal innovation of firearms in their own unique way. Where others prefer to stay back and attack from afar these individuals prefer to storm in with gun in hand and ready to shoot up the battlefield.
