I can see why.

From the guns thread:

Your saying that flintlocks will suddenly be completely changed to be what's effectively a crossbow, but harder to be loaded unless your nomadic, and crossbows will become a basic bridge from longbows and Yewbeam bows. Neither add to combat, simply act as filler. Instead, we could make hand cannons the "Iron Tier" gun, as explosions can still be held within iron casing (look no further than generic cannons), keep crossbows as the big and powerful steel tier weapon, and have flintlocks stay the upgraded slingshot they were intended to be. Excessive love of crossbows.
