Way of the Burning Brimstone
Although most monks are deeply traditionalist, some embrace new developments in weapon technology. Monks of the Way of the Burning Brimstone are masters of using firearms both up close and at distance. They unleash devastating barrages of bullets upon their enemies and use their lightning fast reflexes to retaliate before an attack has even been made.

You gain proficiency in Smith's Tools, Tinker's Tools or Alchemist's Supplies (your choice).
You become proficient with pepperbox pistol and dragoon pistol.
Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls if you are wielding a one-handed firearm you are proficient with.
Instead of not moving, you can use 15 ft of movement when reloading your firearm.
Distracting shot
At 3rd level you learn to use the smoke, sound and shock a firearm produces to gain an upper hand in melee combat. After you successfully hit a target within 5 ft of you with a firearm attack, you can spend 1 ki point to produce one of the following effects:
You gain advantage on attacks made with your Flurry of Blows feature against the target until the end of your turn.

Additionally at 6th level you gain to predict enemy's actions and respond immediately. As a reaction to a creature attacking you can use 1 ki point perform a ranged firearm attack against that creature.

The saving throw DC equals 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus.

It's High Noon
At 17th level you gain the ability to become a whirlwind of fire, smoke and bullets. As an action you can use 5 ki points to make an attack against any number of creatures you can see within 60 ft of you.
