Takes 3 round to reload and has range 100ft. 1d10+1 damage (+1 to represent the penmetration, +3 Masterwork). A Critical Failure 1 -2 means the gun misfires (needs a 1 hour to clean), or even backfires (causing damage to itself and the user)Canons are used to defend some port cities and Dwarfs buy it for mining purposes. However it is very vunerable to dragons and fireball attack (which is why it is usually stored underground in rock sealed bunkers). Unlicenced use of Guns is punishable by Death and if found in treasure are treated as magic Weapons</blockquote>
