[@Wernher] If you're talking about how many blood-bullets our guys should be able to carry, I'm going to go with the mostly abstract 'it's the boom that matters' way.

Cannons shouldn't be able to fire often at all, while gatling guns can fire all day, every day. Pistols are higher on the scale, blunderbusses are sort of in the middle, and the piercing rifle is a bit low. Since, y'know, it's basically a sniper rifle and you can hit multiple dudes at once for full damage each? IIRC anyway.

TL;DR I agree. with your idea.
