Gun

Bang!

Bang! You're dead. Just one pull of the trigger and your life, everything you've ever worked for, all of your memories, everything you are, is gone. That was never possible before the gun (well, never possible without using magic). To wield so much power over the lives of those around you could make anyone seem unstoppable. So what do you do if you're afraid of some maniac with a gun taking your life? Well, you get your own gun. In that way, guns tend to sell themselves. They come in many different shapes and colors, but ultimately they all serve the same purpose: to take lives. Some consider the gun to be an evil, wicked invention, some consider it to be a necessary one. There is a great deal of overlap between the two groups.
The gun was invented in 2234.II by Jeremy Electric Reuger, a doctor of tinkering educated at Gunstock Academy.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Loaded into the gun are bullets, small metal containers which hold a substance known as blackpowder. When the trigger of the gun is pulled, a small spark is ignited at the end of the bullet, igniting the blackpowder and launching the bullet in a straight line out of the gun's barrel at incredible speed.

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of the gun has not yet been made public
