This mod adds historical firearms like handgonnes, arquebus, flintlocks, rifles etc in to minecraft, in a way that fits better in minecraft than mods that adds modern firearms in to minecraft.
(I have only implemented the first 3 yet, more will come)
This mod is a "spinoff" of my main mod medieval craft
Handgonne
Very powerful but has a very slow rate of fire, and is very inaccurate, this was one of the first guns invented, popular in the 15th century.
Matchlock
Uses a trigger for the match instead loading it manually so that it allows the user to aim with both hands, popular in the late 15th and 16th century.
Musket Model 1777
Uses flintlock tecknolgy, shoots faster than matchlocks, used in the napoleonic war by the french forces, and many others in the 19th century.
