5e Firearm Handbook
A storm of steel and smoke fills the air as an armor plated beast emerges. Bullets deflect off its hide as it charges into the ranks. From the other side of the field, the sergeant emerges, commanding his men and directing their fire. As his soldiers coordinate to strike the beast all at once, a weak point is found, and a hail of bullets brings the creature to its end.
A woman sits at a bar, enjoying a cigar, when several shady men approach from behind. As they harass her, she gives them one last warning. Not taking no for the answer, each of the men begin to reach towards the pistols at their hips, but before they can unholster, she pulls out her firearm and quickly dispaches each of them, using only a single bullet for each. As she leaves, she ashes out her cigar on their remains.
Navigating through the jungle, a lone warrior spots a small camp of enemy soldiers, perhaps a platoon, camped in a clearing. He steps on a twig and a guard immediately looks towards his direction, beginning to approach the undergrowth to inspect. But before he spots the lone warrior, he sees the shine of a heavy machine gun barrel. But it's too late. With a bone chilling roar, the lone warrior holds down on the trigger as a stream of hot lead shreds through man after man. They return fire, swearing their bullets hit him. But the flow of steel never stops until there is but one man remaining.
Introduction
The 5e Firearm Handbook is a document meant to facilitate play in settings where firearms are more prevalent than the medieval and renaissance era ranged weaponry depicted in the Players Handbook. The document isn't just limited to small arms, however. Within contains rules for grenades, remote explosives, rocket propelled grenades, mounted machine guns, night vision scopes, and more. Additional content includes five example subclasses--sergeant fighter, sniper rogue, guerilla barbarian, wild card sorcerer, and gun-fu monk--intended for use with these rules. Feats and magic items have also been provided.
Careful attention has been made to make sure these options do not completely overshadow Players Handbook options. Fantasy fulfillment, fun, and game balance have taken precedent over realism in the design here. This is not meant to simulate the function of real life weapons, though certain real-life aspects (such as effective range and weight) have been taken into account.
Antiquated Weapons. In a world with firearms, bows and crossbows still serve some utility.
- Silent Quality. As an optional rule, bows, crossbows, darts, slings, and blowguns gain the silent quality. Whenever you attack with a weapon using the silent quality on your turn, your position is not revealed.
- Poisons. Bullets and explosives cannot be effectively laced with poisons. Bows, crossbows, darts, and blowguns still retain this ability.
Proficiency
Whenever using these rules, think about firearms role and presence in the world. Who would have access to such weaponry? How common are they?
Extremely Rare. In these settings, firearms are either secret or extremely rare technology. Very few if any firearms exist and if they do, their creation might involve forbidden or arcane knowledge. In these settings, no character gains proficiency in firearms. Weapons are so rare, any creature attempting to use one must make a DC 15 Intelligence check or fail to figure out how the weapon functions. At DMs discretion, the firearm might break or misfire. Once a creature understands how it works, they can spend downtime training with the weapon and gaining proficiency.
Common. In these settings, firearms are prevalent enough that most creatures have a basic understanding of how a firearm works. If a character is proficient in light crossbows, shortbows, or hand crossbows, they are also proficient in pistols, rifles, scatterguns, handguns, and revolvers. If a creature is proficient in longbows or heavy crossbows, they are proficient in all basic firearms and handguns, revolvers, marksman rifles, sniper rifles, and shotguns. A creature with proficiency in martial weapons is proficient in all firearms.

Variant Firearms. Some weapons are not fully represented by the weapons table. It's easy to adjust weapons on the table to better represent real life firearms. For example, a fully automatic shotgun might have the reload 15 quality and gain the automatic 5 quality. Keep in mind that any weapon that is stronger than what is represented on the table should be more expensive, harder to find, or given out as unique loot. In addition, if you make a two-handed weapon one-handed, you should significantly reduce its damage. A one-handed shotgun, for example, would deal 1d6 damage and have the scatter (1d10) quality.
Weapon Properties
To emulate the abilities of firearms, the following properties have been added.
Scatter
Whenever you hit with an attack against a creature within the first range increment of this weapon, you can roll the damage dice in the parenthesis instead of the normal damage dice.
Reload
This number indicates how many pieces of ammunition can be held in the weapon at a time. Whenever you expend all the ammunition loaded into the weapon, you must take an action to reload the weapon before making another attack. You don't have to reload the same amount of ammunition each time. For example, if your weapon has the reload 10 property and you expend all 10 pieces of ammunition, you can take an action to load only 5 pieces of ammunition. Likewise, you can reload before expending all of your ammunition.
Automatic
This weapon can fire in rapid bursts, unleashing a barrage of projectiles. Whenever you take the attack action, you can expend an amount of ammunition equal to the number indicated. If you do not have the ammunition loaded into the weapon the attack fails. Choose a 10-ft-square cube area within your weapons range. Each creature in that square must make a Dexterity saving throw, the DC of which is equal to 8 + your proficiency + your Dexterity modifier. A creature takes damage equal to your attacks normal damage on a failed save or no damage on a successful save. A creature has advantage on the saving throw if they're in the weapons second range increment, unless you have a feature which bypasses the penalty for attacking within the second range increment.
The damage for your automatic attack can increase. If you gain the Extra Attack feature (or the Thirsting Blade invocation), your automatic attacks damage increases by one weapon die. This also applies to the Fighters extra attacks that are granted at 11th level and 20th level.
If you gain a bonus to your attack rolls, such as from a magic weapon or from the Archery fighting style, you add that to your save DC. The exception is attack bonuses that require a dice roll, such as the bless spell or superiority dice.
Special Weapons
Weapons with special rules are described here.
Double Barrel Shotgun: Whenever you make an attack with this weapon, you can choose to fire both barrels instead of just one. You expend two pieces of ammunition and can roll the weapons damage dice one additional time and add it as bonus damage.
Heavy MG: This weapon comes with a tri-pod to help maintain accuracy and is difficult to handle when it's not mounted due to its weight and caliber. If your Strength score is 15 or lower and the weapon is not mounted, all attack rolls have disadvantage and creatures targeted by it's automatic attack have advantage on the saving throw.
Anti-Material Rifle: This weapon comes with a tri-pod to help maintain accuracy and is difficult to handle when it's not mounted due to its weight and caliber. If your Strength score is 15 or lower and the weapon is not mounted, your attack rolls with this weapon have disadvantage. In addition, the weapon deals double damage to objects and bypasses the damage resistances of constructs.
Gatling Gun: If your Strength score is below 20, this weapon must be mounted in order for it to be fired. When it is fired, it can only make automatic attacks. Each automatic attack uses 100 pieces of ammunition and covers a 15 ft cube.
Flame Thrower: This weapon spews forth flame. When it is fired, you can only make automatic attacks. Whenever you make an automatic attack, it instead targets creatures in a 20 ft cone.
Rocket Launcher: This weapon fires a single high-powered explosive projectile. If the rocket launcher is loaded, you can fire it as an action. Choose a point that you can see within 300 ft.

Remote Explosives. As an action, you can set this explosive at a point within reach. You can set it on ceilings and walls and it will cling to the surface. Whenever you set it, you can choose automatic, manual, or timed. On automatic, the explosive goes off whenever a creature other than you walks within 5 feet of it or ends their turn there. On manual, you can use an action to activate it with the provided switch so long as you are within 500 feet. On timed, you set a specific time for the explosive to go off. A DC 10 Perception check spots the bomb. If the bomb is on automatic and the creature is aware of the bomb, it can make a DC 15 Acrobatics check to avoid setting it off. It takes a DC 15 Thieves' Tools check to disarm the bomb harmlessly. On a failed check, the bomb goes off.
Whenever the bomb goes off, each creature in a 10 foot radius of the bomb must a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d4 thunder and 4d4 piercing damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.
Stasis Trap. As an action, you can set this trap at a point within reach. You can set it on ceilings and walls and it will cling to the surface. Whenever you set it, you can choose automatic, manual, or timed. On automatic, the trap goes off whenever a creature other than you walks within 5 feet of it or ends their turn there. On manual, you can use an action to activate it with the provided switch so long as you are within 500 feet. On timed, you set a specific time for the trap to go off. A DC 10 Perception check spots the trap. If the trap is on automatic and the creature is aware of the bomb, it can make a DC 15 Acrobatics check to avoid setting it off. It takes a DC 15 Thieves' Tools check to disarm the bomb harmlessly. On a failed check, the bomb goes off.
Whenever the trap goes off, each creature in a 10 foot radius of the bomb must a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is stunned for 1 minute. On a success, a creature suffers no ill effect. A creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns after, ending the effect on a success.
Frag Grenade: As an action, you can pull the pin and throw the grenade. Choose a point within 60 ft. that you can throw the grenade. Each creature in a 5 ft radius sphere originating from that point must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d4 thunder damage and 2d4 piercing, or half as much on a success.
Flashbang: As an action, you can pull the pin and throw the grenade. Choose a point within 60 ft. that you can throw the grenade. Each creature in a 10 ft radius of that point must make a DC 15 Constituion saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is blinded and deafened until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature suffers no ill effect.
Smoke Grenade As an action, you can pull the pin and throw the grenade. A 10-ft-square cube within 60 ft of you is filled with thick smoke, causing creatures and objects inside it to be heavily obscured. The smoke spreads around corners. The smoke lasts for 1 minute or until a wind of moderate or heavy speed(at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.
Cryogenic Grenade. As an action, you can throw this grenade. A 10-ft-square radius within 60 ft explodes in frost.

Taser. You can use a taser to try and disable a creature. As an action, make an attack against a creature within 15 feet. On a hit, a creature takes 1 lightning damage and must make a a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. A creature has advantage on this saving throw if they're wearing armor or thick clothing. On a failed save, a creature falls prone and is stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns after, ending the effect on a success. Undead and constructs are immune to this effect.
Silver Bullets
Because of how much easier it is to make silver bullets compared to making silvered arrows and bolts, it only costs 50 gp to silver 10 pieces of firearm ammunition.
Silvered Explosives
Special made silver dust grenades and RPGs quadruple in price. Creatures who are vulnerable to silver have their resistance to non-magical and non-silvered weapons removed for 1 minute when they take any of the damage from a silvered explosive.
