Editing Firearms (section)

== Chronology ==
As Earthers came to Innworld, many began talking about firearms to the inhabitants.

The [[United Nations]] company debated creating firearms and other blackpowder weapons to better protect themselves. [[Paige]] became a [Blackpowder Engineer] and began producing the substance, which they stored and was occasionally used by the [[Bushrangers]] for bombs, which they employ as a last resort.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/10/7-22-d/ Chapter 7.22 D]</ref>

[[Flora]] is is an Earther that was carrying a .357 Magnum Revolver when she was transported to the [[Demon Kingdom]]. She used it during [[Silvenia Ettertree|Silvenia]]'s assault on the Fifth Wall to aid [[Bazeth]] by attacking [[Uxel]] and killing [[Vorn]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/19/7-36-c/ Chapter 7.36 C]</ref>

[[Yazdil Achakhei]] has been capturing Earthers and probing their minds for information. With this, he began development on firearms, assigning a member of the [[Mad Ones]] to the task. There were setbacks when experimentation with other alchemical ingredients such as blazepowder resulted in accidents that reduced the team of over thirty [Alchemists] and assistants down to five. They've been testing designs for cannons with barrels made of different materials, such as Mithril, Dwarfsteel, and enchanted wood. Yazdil also ordered handheld versions to be made as well.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/24/interlude-the-revenant-and-the-naga/ Interlude - The Revenant and the Naga]</ref>

Among the knowledge and Earth technology [[Kevin Hall|Kevin]] told the [[Flooded Waters Tribe]] about was guns. Though he didn't know how to make any kind of gunpowder or the precise mechanisms of a gun, so the development of firearms is a long-term project.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/04/8-35/ Chapter 8.35]</ref> They've since learned the ingredients of blackpowder.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/03/08/9-39/ Chapter 9.39]</ref>

A soldier from Earth, Jackson Carver, was betrayed by a Lizardfolk village,<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/17/8-80/ Chapter 8.80]</ref> and his weapons were given to the [[Jungle Tails]] company, potentially among other Earth weapons they may have obtained. The Jungle Tails could not understand or recreate any of the modern weaponry, but they developed classes to use them. Two firearm wielders were dispatched as part of a force to kill [[Foliana]], but she ambushed them. The weapons were destroyed and the wielders killed, but they still managed to grievously injure the [Rogue].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/30/8-77-b/ Chapter 8.77 B]</ref>

The United Nations company used their stores of blackpowder explosives against the [[Featherfolk Brigade]] while fighting them in [[Talenqual]]. They used them to wipe out garrisons before they could join the fighting, and to topple [[Fezimet Tusqual|Fezimet]]'s tower.<ref name=":0" />

Various nations have been noted for starting to import sulfur, implying they were attempting to develop or manufacture basic firearms.

It is heavily implied that Yazdil finalized a handheld design and began producing it in larger quantities. He presented an example to the [[Emperor of Sands]] to secure an alliance with them, providing the [[Empire of Sands]] with the weaponry.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/01/18/9-32/ Chapter 9.32]</ref>

Roshal's forces that attempted to abduct several people as soon as the Winter Solstice ended were armed with the new weapons. Twenty-four guns were used to shoot [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]] and [[Ressa]]. The Face [[Yoreth]] also shot [[Kevin Hall|Kevin]] and [[Imani]] with two guns, killing the former and putting the latter in critical condition.<ref name=":1" /> None of the guns were recovered from deceased [Assassins], which had self-destructed.<ref name=":2" />

The second wave of Earthers brought another armed [Gunslinger] to Innworld.<ref>{{VERef|10.18 E}}</ref>

In one of the simulated timelines created by [[Palace of Fates]], 10 years in a future where [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] had yet to be revived, the [[Blighted Kingdom|Empire of Rhir]] had developed modern firearms. Firearms were widely known, but the Empire prevented the technology from being disseminated among other factions by sabotaging or destroying them when they attempted to do so. They also only deployed firearms when they were sure to wipe out their enemy, as to not risk any falling into enemy hands. There are more primitive firearms, such as those possessed by the [[Goblins|Goblin]] Tribe of Dreams. These are considered not reliable against armor unless they are blessed. An example of a blunderbuss was presented to [[Rags|both]] [[Rags (Student)|Ragses]].<ref>{{VERef|10.30 GGMG}}</ref>

In another one, 22 years in a future with a new Goblin King, technology has progressed to close to that of modern day Earth, and so has warfare. Modern weapons incorporating magic are common in this timeline, including tanks and planes. Rags is given a revolver with three clips of ammunition there.<ref>{{VERef|10.34 MGF}}</ref>

Later, the older Kevin from that reality gives Beach Kevin a recipe for gunpowder, which involves the regular elements of gunpowder mixed with dried fire [[magicore]].<ref>{{VERef|10.35 - Pt. 3}}</ref>
