DefinitionEdit

A Gun is defined in Pirates Online as any firearm. This includes:

• Pistol - A single, double or triple-barrelled handgun.
• Musket - A long-barrelled, long-ranged weapon.
• Blunderbuss - A powerful muzzle-loading, short-ranged predecessor to the shotgun.
• Bayonet - A musket with a spear attached to the barrel.

Gun is also the skill that covers the use of these weapons and their ammunition.

NOTE: Originally, the Gun skill was just called Pistol.

NOTE: The bigger the gun or more barrels on the gun the longer it will take to reload.

NOTE: Guns cannot be used on human enemies.
