[3e] Flintlock Design Questions

Phaelen Bleux · 02-06-2011, 07:32 PM

OK, as the GM Who Over-Prepares Everything I am working on expanding the types of flintlocks available from HT, using the gun design rules in Vehicles. I started with pistols, so that I could compare to the entries in HT. A couple of discrepancies I have run into:

The Max damage range is about twice from my designed guns as for the ones in HT. In fact, the Vehicles calc does not work for the HT guns. Why?

The cost of the pistols is also very different. . .

From a more general standpoint, are snub-nosed pistols historically available?

Lastly, I was planning on designing carbines as short-barreled, normal powered, rifled stock grip weapons, and blunderbusses as short-barreled, low-powered, smoothbore stock grip weapons (since the only HT blunderbuss is listed as a shotgun). Does this seem legitimate?
