Tunnel Clearer

Dwarven  military took to guns with ease and pioneered its use. Used to fighting underground, the tunnel clearer was a hybrid design combining aspects of both the rifle and the shotgun, the end result being a gun that could fire a cloud of projectiles at a fair distance. In a tunnel, such a projectile would be nigh-on impossible to evade.
Like most dwarven craft, it is designed to last. This not only makes them hard to break, but also allows them to be used as clubs should the wielder find themselves engaged in melee.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The tunnel clearer is a breech-loading firearm. When the trigger is pulled, it sprays a cloud of projectiles in a cone-shape.

Manufacturing process

Most tunnel clearers are mass produced in gun foundries. Dwarven gunsmiths do also custom craft ones for specialized needs.
