Wheellock was born a simple dirt shark in the desert islands of Cloudbreak. But after singlehandedly defeating a group of outlaws, Wheellock was made the Marshall of Iron Jaw Gulch and is now admired far and wide as the long-teeth of the law.

ID: A gif of William as a young adult, in the middle of stepping back, his neck bruised. He is holding a wheellock, the 16th century predecessor to the gun, and his other hand is raised in fear, having dropped the lantern he was holding in the sand. Gable is half-laying in front of him, nude and soaking wet, their back to the viewer and most of their body obscured by their hair. The light of the broken candle in the lantern flickers and dances. The image next to it is a still of the gif. End ID.

For fart (fan art) purposes, what weapons are Vasco trained in? I assume he's a skilled swordsman, but I'm wondering what types of ranged weaponry he knows, if any. As for the anxious tissue, Machete, I know he's sickly and frail, with staggering amounts of catholic guilt weighing him down but, hypothetically if he did train in any weapon, what could you see befitting him?

Hmm, you're right, Vasco is primarily a swordsman and like many nobles of his time, his sword of choice is the elegant and lightweight rapier. He was trained thoroughly and knows how to use it, but most of the time the sword serves as a fashion accessory and a status symbol, he isn't the type to get into duels left and right.

Vasco enjoys hunting. There's no reason why he couldn't use traditional bow and arrow but I think he would prefer a crossbow. Early firearms had already become common at the time and I could picture him with something like a wheellock or flintlock pistol or rifle. I'm sure there's people who could tell you a lot about 16th century guns but I don't know enough about them to give an in-depth answer myself.

Machete carries a hidden stiletto for self defence. He isn't completely useless with it and luckily you don't need to be terribly athletic to wield one, but his technique leaves a lot to be desired. And since he's chronically anemic any physical activity tends to get him winded and woozy pretty quickly. He's extremely risk-averse (others could say cowardly) and he does his best to not get into any dangerous situations to begin with, or leaving as soon as things start to escalate.

#answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore #Machete would probably be interested in fencing but he knows that ain't happening #so he just admires Vasco's sword rizz instead #guns are horrifically loud and smoky and he hates them #also now that I'm thinking about it he wouldn't be able to use ranged weapons because of his impaired vision

Wheellock pistol for Drunk People

Manufactured c.1610 in France. This pistol is mounted with three barrels with linked chambers, lit up by wheellock mechanisms on both outer barrels. Its propensity to inaccuracy and collateral damage are easily worth it when you think about how nice it must have sat on your hip for daily wear.

Weapons in the American Revolution

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a long and bitter conflict fought between Great Britain and its thirteen North American colonies over the Americans' liberties and, eventually, for the independence of the United States. The war, which was fought with both conventional linear tactics and guerilla-style warfare, utilized several different kinds of weapons for multiple styles of combat.

Some of the weapons used in the Revolutionary War had long been staples of European-style warfare. Variations of the flintlock musket, for instance, had been used in battle since the early 1600s and would continue to be used on Western battlefields for decades after the American Revolution had ended. Other weapons, like the groove-barreled Long Rifle, were relatively new additions to warfare; the rifle, used in a limited capacity during the Revolution, would see greater use on the later battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and American Civil War (1861-1865). Some weapons were useful in close-quarter combat such as the bayonet, tomahawk, and saber, while artillery guns were devastating at both long and short distances. None of the weapons discussed in this article were unique to the American Revolution. However, a quick description of the types of weapons used in that conflict could help give the reader a better understanding of what it may have been like to be on a battlefield during the US War of Independence.

Flintlock Muskets

The flintlock musket was the primary weapon of 18th-century European armies and was therefore used by both sides during the American Revolution. A musket was a muzzle-loading, smoothbore weapon that fired a large lead ball with reasonably decent accuracy. By the 1770s, a typical musket weighed about 10 lbs (4.5 kg), was about 5 ft (152 cm) in length, and had a caliber of about .75 (1.9 cm). A typical lead ball weighed about an ounce (28 g). As the name 'flintlock musket' suggests, such weapons relied on a flintlock mechanism to fire. This involved a piece of flint contained within the musket's cock, or hammer. When the trigger was pulled, the hammer would swing forward, causing the flint to strike a piece of steel called the 'frizzen'. This action created a spark that would fall into a flash pan below, wherein a small charge of black powder was contained. The spark would ignite the powder, which would, in turn, discharge the bullet from the gun barrel. By the time of the revolution, flintlocks had long been the most common kind of firearm; the flintlock had been developed in France in the early 1600s to replace the earlier matchlock and wheellock mechanisms and would remain in use until the mid-19th century.

Although the process of firing a flintlock musket sounds complicated on paper, a well-trained 18th-century soldier could typically fire three or four shots per minute. This is quite impressive, especially after considering what the loading process entails. A soldier would first take a pre-rolled musket cartridge – a paper tube containing gunpowder and a lead musket ball – and tear it open with his teeth. He would then pour a small amount of the powder into the flash pan and pour the rest down the muzzle. Next, the soldier would use a ramrod to pack the musket ball, powder, and paper of the cartridge down into the breech. Only after returning the ramrod to its place and fully cocking back the hammer was the soldier finally ready to take aim and fire.

The musket could be effectively fired from a range of about 80 yards (73 m); while it could sometimes be effective at a slightly greater range, musket balls rarely traveled more than 150 yards (137 m). The musket's accuracy largely depended, of course, on the man who wielded it. To increase the effectiveness of the weapon, 18th-century armies adopted the style of linear warfare; an individual musketeer was less likely to inflict damage than a line of soldiers firing coordinated, concentrated volleys. A typical battle line consisted of two or three ranks of soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder, with each man allowed just enough space to be able to present arms, fire, and reload. When the officer gave the order, the line of soldiers would fire in sync with one another (referred to as a musket volley); sometimes the first rank would kneel to give the second rank a better shot, thereby keeping up a higher rate of fire.

Figure you'd appreciate this - a whole buncha guns from my D&D setting. These vary from "literally exists IRL" to "plausible but hideously dangerous/impractical" (double-action Lorenzoni wheellock anyone?) to "magic" XD

Ive previously said im not terribly into fantasy guns, but yeah this is pretty cool
