    They were never widely used, they were impractical, but then again the majority of weapons included in XIV (or any game) were never widely used by any army. Impractical however does not mean useless.

    The gun baghnakhs I mentioned earlier for example were used in close range combat to pierce a hole in heavy armor before the shot back when gunpowder weapons were fairly weak. Either that or simply having a melee weapon to use once your single shot had been used made these weapons useful for the time, it's just that equipping a large army with them would be incredibly expensive so it never happened.

    By the time they could be produced in mass quantity enough that large armies could equip gunpowder weapons those guns were powerful/reliable enough, and could be reloaded quick enough that it was no longer necessary to really carry a primarily melee weapon (though of course the bayonet/knife were/are still used).
    Ah, good to know. I was unfamiliar.

    I mean it makes perfect sense, reloading a musket has the same delay as MRD auto attack.
