Purana Qila, Training grounds, afternoon of April 24, 1557.
Pistols, a compact firearm that can be kept alongside and taken anywhere. It's easy to aim and shoot due to its smaller size, but the only thing that it lacked was its loading speed.
It is only because of its loading complexity and one-shot limitation that most of the Indian rulers prefer swords over a gun for their safety despite being available in the market. However, history has proven how lethal it could be if it's kept as a secondary weapon instead of the primary.
This firearm ranged from 6 to 11 inches and can make a perfect hole in a target around 20-30 meters, which even a peasant can aim and fire if given a little day's training.
Well, I planned to introduce bassilisk guns here but was dissapointed by its limmiation due to its larger size and weight. Since, the mc is having better culverins i dropped it after reading the mechanics. Let me know in comments if anyone still want it to be introduced, i can adjust one in some seige or defense battle in future arcs. Votes please :)
