Weapon suggestion (Blunderbuss)
I think a blunderbuss would fit right in with the tone of the game. The blunderbus would do enormous damage but have extremely low range and reload speed. Maybe as an added effect, If by chance you get by it at long range, you take hardly any damage but it applies a bleed effect.

nobody used a blunderbuss in the late 1800's

Isn't that just the nitro?

I don’t understand what the difference is between what your describing and a shotgun or nitro...

Yeah, I know that. But the weapon fits the overall style of the game.

Blunderbuss were also black powder and muzzle loaded. It would essentially be a one shot throw away.

Isn't the Nitro a rifle and not a shot gun

The Tomat does not fit the era of the game either and yet it exists. Why are they using crossbows?

True, but does the nitro have shotgun spread or does it use bullets, it just says special ammo.

So you're suggesting a very powerful shotty up close that still deals dmg at range? What ammo type would that use?

It uses bullets, no spread. Crossbows in the game give you that stealth option. Some people like to play very sneaky

It uses special ammo because in the early days it was VERY op. hence they did not want you getting a resupply very easy.

No, the opposite. But im getting the impression that the nitro does.

oh, now I see. Still I think a blunderbuss still would fit but I am starting to see your point.
