other ranged weapon in OSR rpgs with the exception that when the „to hit” roll
is failed there might something bad happener, the score to misfire is stated in
the table below. When you roll the number in the stated range you must consult
the misfire table.
Cannon
Cannon was the first blackpowder
weapon to be invented in the League of Verezzian Republics some 80 years ago.
They are the most wide-spread blackpowder weapons in the Known World.
Handgonne
After blackpowder was invented
and cannon was constructed, an inventor from the southern Reich made the first
handgonne some 60 years ago. While quite unreliability the sheer psychological
effects of its use makes this weapon employed in most warfare in the Known Word.

Triple handgonne
Triple handgonne looks the same as the normal hangonne except, that it has three barrels instead of one. This makes its range and damage lower.
