Gun

A long ranged weapon, similar to a bow in use, but using chemical power rather than muscle power. Guns are capable of using different types of bullets or shot which will affect the gun's damage output. Ammo pouches will increase rate of fire. Dwarves get a gun specialization, and Dwarf and Tauren Hunters will start with a gun.

Engineers can make guns.

Rogues and Warriors (of any race) can learn the Gun skill for 10 from Buliwyf Stonehand in The Military Ward of Ironforge (Alliance) or from Ansekhwa in Thunder Bluff (Horde). Dwarf and Tauren Hunters start with the Gun skill.

Types of guns:

• Boomstick
• [Blunderbuss]
• Mortar
• Shotgun
• Rifle

The types seem to be purely cosmetic, regarding range, shot spread, etc, and all function like a basic medium-ranged rifle.

Lore

Firearms are a relatively new dwarven invention. Despite the dangers of dealing with volatile explosives, dwarves are fascinated by the possibilities. Dwarven gunmakers constantly tinker with the guns they craft, trying out new designs and upgrades, naming and decorating their weapons.Template:Cite
