Yeah, we might be able to take a couple of leafs from Survival: Beginnings' book. And as with guns... I would agree with anything up to and including a non-rifled musket. No more. The admins are kind of being hypocrites when they make bombs and gunpowder, but no (even extremely simple versions) of guns. Honestly, I think it couold be fitting to make a hand cannon (basically a metal tube with gunpowder and a lead ball inside, with no handle, and the trigger was literally just a burning rope that the user stuck into the hole at the back), which was invented in the '''thirteenth century! '''So, why is this not able to be made in survival 303? An argument could be made that, if we were to add guns, we would have to add cannons, but the hand cannon was made way before the actual cannon, all the way in the 1200s. this could do a significant amount of damage, but have a very slow reload time, slower than the crossbow. We could introduce some sort of armor piercing effect into the game, in which case this weapon would excel. It would probably be relatively easy to make the weapon, but it would be very innacurate and make a loud noise. Anyways, this wouldn't be an essential feature, just something I would love to see.
