[@Lucius Cypher] Yeah, I was hesitant to use it, but ultimately I couldn't resist the cool factor. It's like having a silver weapon - they're honestly not very practical, even for what they're designed, but they're [i]really cool[/i].

But, I assure you, I'm definitely not gonna be the guy to try and bring revolvers or literal hand-held cannons into this. I want to stay [i]relatively[/i] grounded in reality, and my current understanding of hand-held culverins is that they're more psychological weapons than physical. 

I mean they'll still do some damage if you hit something, but from what I know they're not the most accurate things and require too much work to operate for more than a couple of shots - [i]especially[/i] in combat. Which, I assume (I'm no scholar), is why crossbows remained more prevalent until the advent of the musket. I only expect to fire it [i]maybe[/i] once per combat engagement, and really [i]only[/i] if Garren is at range.

I pledge to [s]drink[/s] shoot responsibly. [i]And also to remove it should I be asked to do so.[/i]
