could machinist possibly do blunt damage?

would make a nice contrast with bard and complement dragon kick

I've (thankfully) never been shot before but I'd think bullets do piercing damage. Unless, of course, some schmuck is intending on bashing monsters with the gun.

I personally think it should be splash damage

I think they should be able to equip ammo in their offhand slot to let them choose the damage type they deal.

This sounds like a cool idea!

Pretty sure guns are given the piercing attribute.

Yeah, those pellets are most definitely still going to pierce flesh. Iirc there's a type of ammo for shotguns that are just a bunch a pellets and I would not consider the kind of damage they do to be striking.

im sure most of the MNK knuckles, pierce flesh too....since they got stabby points, or slashing claws...they still do blunt damage.

The difference I meant to convey is a rifle bullet does damage by penetrating a target, while musket balls and shotgun pellets(while absolutely are still capable of going through a target, though they do so by smashing through it rather than piercing through it) do the majority of their damage through blunt force. An average rifle bullet to the shoulder might break a bone, but a musket ball to the shoulder would tear an arm off.
