Fusil

A Fusil is one of the early types of Firearm which have gained popularity outside of The Continent of Greland.
A Fusil is a Matchlock firearm usually around four feet in length with a smoothbore barrel. It is incredibly slow to prepare with powder, musketball and sabot each needing to be loaded into the barrel with a ramrod, then the flashpan filled with powder from a horn, and finally the match inserted into the mechanism and spring-loaded into position. A pull of the trigger would then spring the match into contact with the flashpan, igniting the powder behind the musketball and propelling it forward.
The Fusil has an effective range of up to 100 feet, though it is not hugely accurate. The exposed match and powder in the flashpan are affected by wet or windy weather.
The weaknesses of the Fusil are more than made up for in the damage it causes, dealing incapacitating damage to any target hit, with little regard for armour. The sound and smell can also have an incredible effect on the enemy, especially those who make heavy use of cavalry or Minmoth.
Fusil

Name	Damage	Critical	Range	Qualities
Fusil	10	1	4/10	Inaccurate-2; Sunder-1; Disorient-2; Stun-2; Reload-8; Volley; Ranged;

Inaccurate-2:

• This weapon adds bb to any Ranged Attacks made using this weapon.

Sunder-1:

• This weapon ignores up to 10 points of Soak.

Disorient-2:

• This weapon can spend aa on a successful melee attack to inflict +d on the target's next Skill Check.

Stun-2:

• This weapon can spend aa from an attack any number of times to inflict 1 Strain each time. The attack does not need to be successful to do this.

Reload-8:

• Before each attack with this weapon it must perform the Reload action 8 times.

Volley:

• When multiple combatants equipped with Volley weapons perform a Combined Attack, only count half that number of combatants toward the attack. Then that attack gains Vicious-(x) and Linked-(x) where (x) is half the number of participants in the attack. The attack must choose different targets for each additional attack made by its Linked quality.

Ranged:

• Ranged weapons do not increase their Damage for additional s from Attack rolls. Instead treat each ss as a.

• Ranged weapons have two Range values. Attacks made within the first range bracket are made as normal. Attacks made within the second range bracket add one b for each additional range band in addition to normal effects and the cost to trigger traits or critical hits increases by 1 for each range band. Attacks cannot be made beyond the second range bracket.

Fusils in Military Units

Only specially trained units may be equipped with Fusils.
