But that aside, MCN being blunt damage would not make much sense. I mean, sure, they could have a gun that fires blunt rounds, but, why? Blunt rounds for the most part cover the area of "non lethal" ammunition, and I certainly don't see us fighting dragons with bean bag launchers. But strictly from a lore perspective, as I already stated, the main theme of HW, and the enemy we will be fighting are dragons. Creatures with hard armored scales covering their bodies. I cannot see the machinists of Ishgard thinking that going against these creatures with potato guns as the get to victory.
That's what I meant - casters' auto-attacks.

And agreed on that one. They'll be shooting to kill, literally. Seems we also get lasers to play with, judging by that video though.
