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. \columnbreak >**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. \pagebreak <div class='wide'> </div> <div class='wide'> #### Basic Firearms | Weapon | Cost | Damage | Weight | Properties |:-------|:------|:--------|:--------|:---- |Pistol|15 gp | 1d6 piercing| 5 lbs | Ammunition (range 30/120), light, loading |Rifle| 25 gp|1d10 piercing|10 lbs|Ammunition (range 150/600), heavy, loading, two-handed |Scattergun|25 gp|2d4 piercing|10 lbs|Ammunition (range 30/120), heavy, loading, scatter (2d6) </div> <div class='wide'> #### Advanced Firearms | Weapon | Cost | Damage | Weight | Properties |:-------|:------|:--------|:--------|:---- |Handgun|15 gp | 1d4 piercing| 3 lbs | Ammunition (range 30/120), light, reload 12 |Revolver|25 gp|1d6 piercing|5 lbs| Ammunition (range 40/160), light, reload 6 |Marksman Rifle| 55 gp|1d8 piercing|10 lbs|Ammunition (range 150/600), heavy, reload 10, two-handed |Sniper Rifle|75 gp|1d10 piercing|15 lbs| Ammunition (range 500/2000), heavy, reload 5, two-handed |Shotgun|45 gp|2d4 piercing|10 lbs|Ammunition (range 30/120), heavy, reload 5, scatter (2d6), two-handed |Double Barrel Shotgun| 25 gp| 2d4 piercing| 8 lbs| Ammunition (range 30/120), heavy, reload 2, scatter (2d6), two-handed, special |Machine Gun|50 gp|1d6 piercing| 8 lbs| Ammunition (range 100/400), heavy, reload 30, automatic 10, two-handed |SMG|50 gp|1d4 piercing|5 lbs| Ammunition (range 60/240), reload 30, automatic 15, two-handed |Heavy MG|100 gp|1d8 piercing|20 lbs| Ammunition (range 150/600), heavy, reload 100, automatic 20, two-handed, special |Anti-Material RIfle|100 gp|2d6 piercing|20 lbs| Ammunition (range 500/2000), heavy, reload 5, two-handed, special </div> <div class='wide'> #### Other Weapons | Weapon | Cost | Damage | Weight | Properties |:----- |:----- |:------- |:---- |:----- |Gatling Gun |1500 gp |1d12 piercing |200 lbs |Ammunition(range 200/800),heavy, reload 1000, two-handed, automatic 100, special |Flame Thrower |500 gp |2d4 fire |30 lbs |Heavy, two-handed, reload 30, automatic 10, special |Rocket Launcher |1000 gp |-|20 lbs |Heavy, two-handed, reload 1, special |Frag Grenade |10 gp |- |1 lbs |Special |Flashbang | 10 gp |- |1 lbs | Special |Smoke Grenade |10 gp |- |1 lbs |Special |Cryogenic Grenade| 15 gp| - | 1 lbs| Special |Remote Explosives| 30 gp| - | 2 lbs | Special |Grenade Launcher| 100 gp| - | 12 lbs | Special |Taser | 25 gp| - | 1 lbs| Special |Stasis Trap | 30 gp| - | 2 lbs | Special </div> \pagebreakNum >**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. \columnbreak #### Special Weapons Weapons with special rules are described here. <strong>Double Barrel Shotgun:</strong> 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. <strong>Heavy MG: </strong> 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. <strong>Anti-Material Rifle:</strong> 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.

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. \pagebreak **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 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. \columnbreak #### 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. ##### Firearm Ammunition | Item | Cost | Weight| |:----:|:---|:---| |Musket Ball (15)|5 sp| 1 lbs| |Pistol Round (20)|1 gp|1/4 lbs| |Shotgun Shell (12)|1 gp|1 lbs| |Rifle Round (20)|1 gp | 1 lbs| |Sniper Round (10)|5 gp|1 lbs| |Rocket Propelled Grenade|15 gp|2 lbs |Flamethrower Fuel (30)|10 gp|5 lbs #### Firearms Equipment | Item | Cost | Weight| |:----:|:---|:--- |Powder Horn|2gp|1lbs| |Weapon Repair Kit|4 gp | 4 lbs| |Tri-pod|5 gp|1 lbs |Scope|5 sp|1/4 lbs |Magazine|1 sp|1/4 lbs |Magazine Pouch|5 sp|1/4 lbs |Night Vision Scope|100 gp|1 lbs |Mounted Flashlight|10 gp|1 lbs |Silencer| 20 gp| 1 lbs <strong>Powder Horn:</strong> This holds up to one pound worth of gunpowder for loading flintlock firearms. <strong>Weapon Repair Kit:</strong> Comes with all the standard equipment needed for cleaning, maintaining, and repairing modern firearms, including a rag, gun oil, and an assortment of minor replacement parts.
