### The Use of Firearms
**Gaining Proficiency.**  When you gain proficiency with weapons at any point, you can substitute a proficiency using the provided table, such as substituting proficiency with a Shortbow for that with that for a Pistol. Proficiency with an entire category of weapons automatically includes those listed on this document.

**Ammunition & Loading.** All firearms have the Ammunition and Loading properties, despite them not being listed on the Firearms chart.

**Loudness.** A weapon's loudness rating is the distance out to which it is heard with a DC 10 Perception check when firing if no preventative measures are taken. It is equal to the first value listed for a weapon's range.

### Firearms Modifications
Modifications to firearms can significantly change their function.

**Multiple Barrels.** Additional Weight (lbs): +1 x Number of barrels - 1.

Mutually exclusive with revolver. This allows a weapon to fire multiple shots at once. Decrease total damage by two for each barrel beyond the first. Weapons with this property commonly have up to 5 barrels.

**Revolver.** Additional Weight (lbs): +¼ x Number of cylinders - ¼.

Mutually exclusive with multiple barrels, can have number of revolving chambers switched with necessary materials. Weapon can be fired multiple times without reloading. Weapons with this property commonly have 4-8 chambers.

\columnbreak

### New Firearms Properties

**Bulky.** You must spend 1 action correctly bracing the weapon before you can fire. You must either become prone or place the weapon on top of an object capable of holding its weight. If the weapon is fired without being set up as mentioned, the attack roll receives no modifiers from ability scores or your proficiency modifier.

**Unwieldy.** This weapon's size makes it impossible to effectively use in close quarters combat. Any attacks made with this weapon when an enemy is within 10 feet of the user are made with disadvantage.

</div>

### New Weapon Properties
**Covert.** All Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks made to conceal this weapon are made with advantage.

**Grenade.** This weapon requires a source of fire to ignite before being thrown or fired, explodes after your turn ends, and can be thrown over objects up to 10 + 4 x Strength mod high. This weapon follows physics as your DM decides, and is spherical enough to roll down slopes. All Grenade effects occupy a 10 ft radius sphere.

**Sweeping.** This weapon has the capability of striking multiple enemies with a single swing. After taking the attack action, you may use your bonus action to make another attack on a target within 5 feet of the last targeted creature.

### Weapons with Special Properties
**Bayonet.** This unique dagger can be mounted on any two-handed firearm without the Unwieldy property. If you are in melee range with a bayonet attached to your firearm, you can attack with it as a bonus action as one would use an offhand weapon. This weapon uses the proficiency of a Dagger.

**Smoke Grenade.** This grenade causes an obscuring cloud of colored smoke to appear, occupying the normal Grenade effect radius until a wind of at least 10 miles per hour blows it away, or until a minute passes.

**Sticky Grenade.** A grenade covered in a sticky substance derived from slimes, jellies, and similar. It will stick to the first thing it hits, and cannot be fired from a Hand Mortar.

**Swordstick.** This weapon uses the proficiency of a Rapier.

**Hand Mortar.** Used for firing grenades and other such projectiles, and can lob grenades over objects up to 50 ft high. Firing a grenade works as standard ranged attack.

\columnbreak

**Attached Pistol.** Available to all shields and melee weapons lacking the thrown property. This pistol is not a weapon on its own, but is integrated into a melee weapon to augment its combat abilities. You may use this pistol as a bonus action attack, as if it was in your offhand. Any attacks made with  Attached Pistol receive disadvantage if you are not proficient in the melee weapon it is mounted to.

### Items & Tools
**Powder Flask.** Weight: ¼ lbs

Cost: 5 sp

A device containing gunpowder typically made of ivory, metal, or leather. Varying in size, they can contain enough gunpowder for up to 40 shots from a firearm.

**Shot Tower.** Weight: 12 lbs

Cost: 75 gp

A tower with an included catch bucket that is used to make shot. This requires water, fuel and refined lead, and will produce 20 lead balls per hour.

**Refined Lead.** A 1 lb ingot of refined lead is able to produce 20 lead balls or 20 cartridges of grapeshot.

Cost: 2 gp per lb

**Gunsmith’s Tools.** Weight: 6 lbs

Cost: 50 gp

A toolkit containing everything one needs to properly maintain, modify, and construct firearms.

### Crew Served Weapons
Crew served weapons, while not traditionally used by adventurers, are included in this document for reference in uses such as pitched field battles or sieges. They include their own special modifier.

**Carriage.**
A carriage allows a Crew Served Weapon to be moved. While moving a crew served weapon, every 1 ft travelled costs 2 ft of movement. All siege weapons listed in this document can be found with a carriage.

### Feats for Firearms

**Gunslinger.**

You ignore the loading property on all firearms you are proficient with.

When you use the attack action with a one handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a one handed firearm you are holding.

 Based off Matt Mercer's Gunslinger homebrew Gunslinger, I felt a need to create a system of firearms that is more usable to the average character, and includes a few items and features I felt missing from Gunslinger, both in terms of balance and options. In this document, you will find not only firearms, but their siege weapons and an assortment of related tools and other weapons.
