Guns were the mainstay weapon of choice for Nor'Ovan's in the First Era. They were portable, convenient, and very effective. It is highly unlikely such weaponry would go away just because the bombs dropped and technology as we know it was destroyed. Guns being more mechanical would survive if cared for. Not to mention, some gun fanatics would work hard at rebuilding the gun technology of yesteryear.

Here you will find some guns that were preserved as best as possible. These are from the now legendary Johnson Revolvers. While that company was one of the many tragedies of the Great Magic War, some of its employees did survive the war, and they have passed on as best they can the art of revolver science. This has led to the upkeep of the Carbine Revolver series 1 and 2. The company that is responsible for keeping up with their manufacturing calls themselves JR Carbines or Johnson Reborn Carbines.

The CR 1 Revolver

Also known as the Town Crier, this is a standard issue 6-round revolver, once commissioned  for use by police forces all over Nor'Ova. It is the most common revolver still in circulation, and often used by the defense forces patrolling the tunnels. The CR 1 is a relatively small caliber revolver with high accuracy and low recoil. It uses the CR type 1 ammo form factor.

Long Guns

The Long Guns of the First Era weren't as fortunate as the revolvers. These were harder to take into the shelters at the last minute, leaving most of them out in the world to go to ruin. That said, they were able to take what they could find and craft some new shotgun models, the 20-Gauge and 12-Gauge. The largest manufacturer of these new shotguns is the Crystal Mountain Defenders. It has become somewhat of a status symbol in cave society to possess a CMD 12 Gauge, and this prestige has made them the go-to supplier for the Outworld Expeditionary Forces.

After the maximum range of the shot gun is reached, the shell damage is divided by 5. It has a 50% chance of still affecting targets for up to 5 more spaces before failing.	2.25

Runic Rifles

Runic Rifles were invented and created by Jardin Callowel, a lead scientist in runic technologies and rune stone applications. The basics of a runic rifle is pretty simple. It makes use of both crystal and rune stones to allow the user to channel magical energy through it which is then expelled through the other end as a powerful beam of pure destructive magic, always in the color of the element of its wielder, and always bearing the elemental properties of said element. The beam is akin to a short lazer blast, roughly a a foot long yet bearing a 4 inch diameter. The benefit of the runic rifle is that it doesn't require ammo and has longer range potential. The downside is the cost, they deplete rune stones and must be replaced, with the purity level of the rune stone determining the strength potential of the blast. They also drain from the user SA.

Even thought these are a first era weapon, these weapons have persisted into the 2nd era and for good reason, the increase prevalence in magic. It also helped that these weapons gained more widespread use during the end of the Great Magic War. The ease in connecting to the runic elements have made these weapons far more valuable and useful than before, giving even the most clumsy magic user a potent magic weapon. The discovery of more pure ylem stones deep underground have also made these weapons more important, and you know what they say - money speaks.

Rune Stone Purity Levels

The purity of the rune stone determines the power of the blast, not the spell that is in it. Therefore it is very possible to get the most pure rune stone available with just a basic spell in it, and get a good blast from the runic rifle.

The Runic Rifles

Here is listed the various models of runic rifles that are available.

Weapon	Attack	Parry	Range	Hit Chance	Weight	Space Taken	Other Information	Cost
Long Runic Rifle	22	N/A	20	+10	18	20	Shot value is increased depending upon the level purity of the applied rune stone. For every 2 Soul applied to the blast, the blast is increased by 4%. At least 20% of the Soul must come from the rune stone, and once empty the rune stone will need to be replaced. The rune stone can of course be recharged, as long as it remains a rune stone.	700.00
Runic Staff Rifle	10 (melee); 15 (energy)	N/A	2 (staff); 8 (blast)	0 (staff), +5 (blast)	15	18	Shot value is increased depending upon the level purity of the applied rune stone. For every 2 Soul applied to the blast, the blast is increased by 4%. At least 20% of the Soul must come from the rune stone, and once empty the rune stone will need to be replaced. The rune stone can of course be recharged, as long as it remains a rune stone. This is actually a runic rifle designed to look like a staff. It is more popular among those who want the power of a runic rifle but don't want to advertise that they are carrying one around. Given its more slender shape, it isn't as powerful as traditional runic rifles, however it has the unique advantage of being able to be used like a wizard staff. Staff Special Effects: apply double the elemental effects against the element you are strong against when casting magic decrease spell casting speed by 1	750.00
Standard Runic Rifle	25	N/A	10	+10	14	20	Shot value is increased depending upon the level purity of the applied rune stone. For every 2 Soul applied to the blast, the blast is increased by 4%. At least 20% of the Soul must come from the rune stone, and once empty the rune stone will need to be replaced. The rune stone can of course be recharged, as long as it remains a rune stone.	550.00
