==Primitive Variants== Although these models technically count as too primitive to even count as Stubbers, let alone Autoguns, for the sake of convenience they are listed here. [[File:Inq1-blackpowder-pistol.jpg|200px|rght|thumb|When you really want to go back to the point on making [[Orks]] look advanced, The Flintlock Pistol is the tool for you.]] ===Flintlock Pistol=== Wooo boy. If you want to role play as a 16th century Pirate, then the Flintlock Pistol is for you. These simple black powder weapons can take many forms, from finely crafted pistols constructed for the nobles of low-tech worlds to simple pipe and powder affairs used by underhive scum. They are uncommon and are famous for their low battle characteristics but those which do exist are sometimes very heavily ornamented and carried by high ranking officers mainly as decoration. Of course, whilst you may scoff at the idea of going into a battle filled with tanks and space ships with an 18th century gun, do take note that the more master-crafted versions could be quite deceptively deadly by virtue of incorporating some form of advanced tech into, seemingly, primitive and "backward" design. For example, such constructs could be capable of holding plasma munitions that can crack open power armor in a single shot. So while actually using a black powder pistol (in all but the most retardedly desperate situations) will get you in trouble, you never know if some dude has an archaeotech pistol that resembles one just to look cool. Laugh at your own peril. ===Musket=== [[File:Rb1-73-musket.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The Musket, basically the Flintlock's older brother.]] Muskets are primitive firearms, utilizing explosive powder and a crude firing mechanism to propel a lead ball. Like the Flintlock Pistol, these crude devices can only fire once before reloading and are prone to failure. Slow, inaccurate, and unreliable, they are only made and used on backwards planets. However, they are extremely easy to construct and maintain even from scrap-parts and with an absolute minimum of skill and knowledge about firearms operation. For this reason they are known to be quite popular among outlaw members of Hive societies such as the [[Ratskins]] and [[Scalies]] of the Necromundan underhive. The [[Planetary Defense Forces]] of Feral and Feudal Worlds also sometimes make use of muskets. Like the Flintlock Pistols, master-crafted Muskets could be quite deceptively deadly by virtue of incorporating some form of advanced tech into, seemingly, primitive and "backward" design. That “backward” musket could hide archaeotech capable of making a [[Thermal Cannon]] look like a firecracker. ===Blunderbuss=== [[File:ScavvieBlunderbuss.PNG|200px|right|thumb|The Blunderbuss, the Shotgun's grandfather.]] A primitive shotgun. Also known as a Scatter Gun, the Blunderbuss is an exceedingly simple weapon made out of one or more short barrels strapped to a solid stock. An explosive charge is primed at the bottom of each barrel, then a large amount of metal fragments, stones, pieces of bone or anything else likely to cause harm are packed in on top. When the weapon is discharged, it belches out this "ammunition" in a vast swath which will hopefully find itself somewhere in the locale of its intended target. Outside of primitive societies, such a crude, ineffective and dangerous (to its operator) weapon is only used by the poorest or most desperate members of society. Usually it can be found in use by criminal gangs, for instance the [[Ratskins|Ratskin Renegades]] and [[Scavvies]] of Necromunda's underhive. [[Grot|Gretchin]] also [[Gretchin Blunderbuss|craft these weapons,]] even upsizing them for their primative dreadnoughts. ===Scatter Cannon=== [[File:Scatter_Cannon2.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The Scatter Cannon. The Blunderbuss' older brother and the Shotgun's uncle.]] A primitive weapon found on Necromunda and used exclusively by the [[Scalies]]. Basically a 18th century cannon with a trigger attached to it. A scatter cannon is simply an enlarged version of a Blunderbuss or scatter gun with a heavy barrel and a fist sized bore. The greater weight of the shrapnel and explosive charge used in a scatter cannon increase its range and make it a lot deadlier in the confined conditions of the underhive. If all else fails, the Scalie can basically just use the giant cannon as a giant makeshift club. Any poor scrub would get crushed by the weapon's immense weight. The Scatter Cannon is sturdy enough due to be constructed mainly with one piece of reinforced wooden log and one piece of a steel firing bore. Thus, the Scatter Cannon is essentially the watered down version of the Ogryn's Ripper Guns. Scalies are the only underhive denizens with the massive strength to take the recoil from these powerful primitive weapons. [[Ratskins]] on the other hand, may mount one on either a cart or an emplacement.
