Okay so lets get this out here.
Weapons in real life are pretty tricky to craft (unless you are "educated" in what you are doing)
But the most simple firearm to make should be the musket.
Think about it, its really just a loooooong barrle with a wooden stock that fires a small projectile that is not that accurate but still does the job of killing that one guy who stole your lunchmoney as a kid.
Just saying that you can make a semiautomatic rifle without a problem and a bullet for it aswell but yet you can't make the simplest firearm in history.
By adding the musket you would give the players that join late/early a fighting chance against so say roof campers, ninja bears, scientists, Todd who works at that little store down at F9 and so on and on.
How it should work:
It shouldnt be that accurate to begin with but depending on the range you should be able to shoot relativly good with it (But hey, its an antique rifle what do you expect)
It will be slow to reload since it's a muzzleloader and because of prevention from power-abuse and every time you fire there will be a little smokecloud that CAN show your location since blackpowder smoke is pretty thick
The damage should be a medium to high depending the distance and point of entry and since it only fires one shot it wont be like a shotgun (Lets just call it a early and cheap version of the bolty)
The ammo should just some powder and some metalfragments that will make "powder and roundball"
(cheap and easy to make and it could also give another use for paper since you need something to keep it all from falling out your barrle)
The materials to make this should be a pipe, wood, metalfragments and stone/rope (depending if you are making a matchlock instead of a flintlock)
I really love these old weapons and since almost nobody uses the eoka since the days of legacy or just to troll. We could use this and it could also help some player events if they want to but thats just what i
think would be fun.
What do you guys think about this idea, if you have any questions i would be more than happy to reply.
I would be happy to see the musket. But both the musket and the eoka should be mussel loaded and not use hand made shells. So a 12 second reload time should be included. Range of the musket should be short with poor accuracy. The eoka should be shorter and also poor accuracy.
But wait!
We don't need real "scrapping to survive things" in rust, we now have the team system!!!!!
Still 50/50 on the players that play. Some play solo and some play with friends so some musketfights would be fun to see
