                Pellet Cost: 1 gp/50 pellets

Adamantite      Applicable to all prior types.
  (Uncommon)    Deals magical damage.
                When firing at a target you only
                need a 19 natural roll or 9 above
                their AC to crit. You still need
                a normal crit against Adamantite
                armor.
Dragon's Breath When you fill your blunderbuss
  (Rare)        or hand blunderbuss with this
                shot, it fires a cone of energy
                similar to a dragon's breath
                weapon. The ammo deals 6d6
                damage of the appropriate energy
                type. Creatures may make a saving
                throw against the shot as normal.
                A successful save causes half
                damage. There are five types of
                dragon's breath: black (acid),
                blue (lightning), green (poison)
                red (fire), and white (cold).
                Each shot is easily identifiable
                by the color of the pellets.

Equipment

Bandolier       This equipment allows the player to 
                reload bonus round per action. No 
                bonus is given to bonus action 
                reloads.

Weapon Properties

Reload y (x)        The weapon can reload y number
                    of bullets in x actions or 
                    attacks.
Reload Bonus y (x)  the weapon can reload y number
                    of bullets in x bonus actions.
Critical (xdx)      The weapon deals xdx dice
                    instead of it's typical damage
                    when getting a crit on a nat
                    20 or 10 above their AC, this
                    damage is also doubled as it
                    is still a crit.
Accurate            This weapon adds this modifier
                    to hit as long as the attack is
                    an accurate attack.
Misfire             If the player rolls a natural 1
                    or a nat 2-5 and does not hit
                    the target, the weapon misfires
                    requiring a bonus action to
                    unjam.
Loud (x)            The weapon can be heard at 
                    x distance.
Quickdraw           The weapon can be drawn and
                    fired at the same time.
Versatile           Can use INT or DEX as modifier.
Ranged              Uses INT as modifier.
Quartered           Uses DEX as modifier.
Ready               The weapon requires more than
                    two hands to operate 
                    effectively. You must have 
                    two hands free to fire this
                    weapon. When firing the weapon
                    if you have not moved this turn
                    and spend your bonus action to 
                    ready, reducing your movement 
                    speed to 0, you get ready on
                    this attack. Not having ready 
                    decreases your range 
                    significantly, and you do not 
                    gain your accurate bonus when 
                    not rested.
                    
                    (Min Range/Max 
                    Range; Min no ready Range/Max
                    no ready Range)
                    
Double Action       In one attack, this weapon
                    can fire two times.
                    The second shot has
                    disadvantage.

Gun with no Name

Weapon (any rifle or pistol)

Rare (requires attunement by a warlock)

This firearm has runes spread along the side of it. When you are attacked with a magical weapon you can cast absorb elements as a reaction without expending a spell slot. You can choose to expend this magical energy absorbed when firing this weapon instead of with a melee attack.

This feature can be used 6 times per day.

The Proclaimer

Weapon (any rifle, musket, or pistol)

Very rare (requires attunement by a cleric)

This firearm is dedicated to and blessed by a particular deity. You gain a +2 on attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit an undead with it, you do an extra 2d8 radiant damage. The Proclaimer also has 7 charges. If you are a cleric dedicated to that deity (or on otherwise friendly terms if not worshiping that particular deity), then you may expend one of the charges when making a ranged attack with the Proclaimer against an undead creature. If the bullet hits, then in addition to dealing normal damage, the Proclaimer affects the creature you hit and all undead within 30 feet of it are affected as if you had used your Channel Divinity class feature to turn undead (this does not count as a use of your Channel Divinity). The Proclaimer regains 1d6 + 1 charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the Proclaimer loses its magic. You must perform some service for your deity in order to be deemed worthy to have the Proclaimer restored.

Trouble

Weapon (any pistol)

Very Rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

+1 bonus on attack rolls made with this weapon.

You can prepare this weapon with charges each day.

You can choose to prepare this weapon with a number of weak charges equal to your intelligence modifier or 1 strong charge.

When you make a successful attack with this weapon you can choose to use your charge.

Using a weak charge deals 2d6 force damage and knocks the target back 5 feet.

Using a strong charge deals (2 * your INT mod)d6 force damage and knocks the target back (5 * INT mod) feet.

Pistol Rounds

Shots fired from this weapon crit on a 18-20, or 8 above AC. If using adamantium rounds it will crit on a 17-20 or 7 above AC.

When hitting with this weapon the target must make a DC 16 Con save or be paralyzed until the start of your next turn unless it is immune to the poisoned condition. On a critical hit the creature fails automatically.

Ram:

Fire a fiery blast from the front of this weapon in a 15 foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 16 Dex saving throw, on a failed save they take 4d6 fire damage and are pushed 15 feet away. On a successful save the creature takes half damage and is not pushed back. The fire ignites any object in the area that isn’t being worn or carried.

This consumes all 3 shots at once.

Songbirds

Weapon (two pistols)

Legendary (requires attunement with a blood offering from the attuner and a soul for each revolver.)

The left songbird has a red tint and runes.

The right songbird has a purple tint and runes.

These runes do not start glowing until their respective souls have been taken.

Both weapons have double the ammo of their non-magical counterpart.

These weapons can be fired back to back as if you were using the double action property.

Both weapons have a +3 to attack and damage rolls.

When dealing damage with the left songbird you heal life equal to the damage you dealt with the weapon.

When dealing damage with the right songbird enemies are locked in place, decreasing their speed on their next turn by half of their total movement speed.

Getting a kill with the left songbird makes it crit on every attack for the next 10 rounds of combat.

Getting a kill with the right songbird causes the killed creature’s flesh to contort and reanimate into a pile of flesh that lasts for 15 rounds of combat.
