Ladies (Smithed Guns)
'Ladies' are weapons imbued with faith when they are created, and bonded in service of the smith who crafts them. Usually these weapons are drum-fed and automatic, but many designs exist. The weapons themselves are sentient, and prone to misfire or jam when used in a manner which their makers wouldn't approve. Weapons made by a certain smith, must thus be used in a certain manner. Some weapons are more picky than others, but all weapons have some sort of goal, or restriction to their use. For those who can wield these weapons, they are a terrifying source of power - much more effective than any other weapons available during the age of dead gods.
Utility
Full automatic weapons have the utility of being fully automatic in an era where guns use simple action reloading mechanisms.
Manufacturing
Created by Avalonian or other gunsmiths.
Access & Availability
Drum fed weapons are exceedingly rare. Avalon - the nation who developed the technology - was secretive before its destruction, and is now basically non-existent. The few drum-fed Smithed Weapons which exist are owned by Avalonian knights, or the gunsmiths themselves. Other gunsmithed weapons are more common, and utilize a bolt or lever action.
Complexity
Drum-fed weapons are not a technology which is common outside of Avalonian gunsmiths. Bolt and lever action rifles, and revolvers of all kinds are commonplace, but Smithed Weapons are more rare - maybe 1 in every 100. A drum-fed weapon would be more like 1 in every 10 000.
Discovery
Drum fed weapons are an Avalonian invention, and are rarely seen in the hands of citizens from other nations. Though non-Avalonian gunsmiths exist, and their craftsmanship is fine, their weapons are not drum fed. Gunsmiths are primarily women, and guns made by men are seen as unlucky.
