Re: [AtE] Best bang for your Warlord buck?
With the warning that I don't play 4e ...
I would use the game stats for the Dreyse, but slightly reduce damage (the Chassepot fired a faster but lighter bullet) and a slightly improved 1/2 Damage range (same reason) and Acc. The Chassepot, with fewer needle breakages due to it being shorter and not having to go as deep into the paper cartridge, would have a bit more reliability.

Re: [AtE] Best bang for your Warlord buck?
Here's another wacky refit option, via Beardy at C&Rsenal; the single shot break open shotgun, now with an added magazine and self-loading system.

Fast Draw (Ammo), renamed as Fast Reload?

Re: [AtE] Best bang for your Warlord buck?
To channel Forgotten Weapons again ...
Here are a couple of carbines from the 1850's. The Burnside was The fist US rifle with a metal case, although it did not include the primer (this was a standard percussion cap). https://www.forgottenweapons.com/ame...nside-carbine/ The Morse used a centerfire brass case, while the Spencer and Henry were rimfire, but the Confederacy was incapable of building the carbine, and more importantly it's ammunition, quickly and in sufficient quantities. I think if the CSA had trouble with producing centerfire cartridges, most AtE governments would as well. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/con...of-their-time/

Re: [AtE] Best bang for your Warlord buck?
This is a bit of a tangent, but what characteristics do people think a warlord would look for in weapons for their goons and mooks?
My own thoughts leaned towards a rarer weapon with multiple shots for the "officer" class of mook or goon as the threat the weapon posed was more important than its actual effectiveness. There are numerous other aspects to consider though - Cost/complexity - logistics - use by a poorly trained individual. - and many more.

Another example are the various flavors of M16 rifle. The version issued to main line US troops (M16A2 and A4 and original M4 carbine) is not capable of full automatic fire, and has a 3-round burst limiter, again to reduce ammo consumption. Other versions (M16A3), and I believe the carbine M4A1 variant, are capable of performing a clip dump, but these are not as widely issued as the burst limited version.
