Firearms

Firearms are currently at World War 1 Era Technology. Repeating Rifles and Pistols have been around for about 20 years, uncommon in some regions, but commonly seen in Military units. As such, for adventurers, they are easily acquired, though the pinnacle of Military Technology may be slightly out of their reach.
Currently Advanced Firearms (Such as Revolvers, and Rifles) are readily available. However, beyond this, simple repeating Rifles (Such as Winchesters) are also readily available.
In some countries, even more advanced variations, or different variations may be made available.
As firearms are so highly common, specialists in the craft are quite easy to find. Ammunition is cheap, and firearms are reasonable. Advanced Firearms can strike foes with a touch attack out to 2 range increments, making them by far the most accurate weapons against most armored targets.
