Watch out, new TTRPG character just dropped: A travelling merchant of the March - extremely likely to die permanently in the first session because "Adventurer,Conqueror, King" pulls zero punches. Still, I call her Felicia and I will cherish all the 3-8 minutes she'll survive.

Ads from September 1980 for The Essex Model Gun Company. I don't remember these being advertised but they are Cap Guns which you will likely still be able to remember the smell of if you ever fired one.

The 'Machine Pistol' set of the Mauser C96 'Broomhandle', looks like it is the same as the earlier The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Cap Gun set from Lone Star Toys. The TV show did use pistols kitted out with silencers, stocks and sights but it was usually the Walther P38. While the Mauser C96 appeared in some episodes of the show it was never modified as shown here.

Old-school matchlock gun reproduction of the Ming dynasty item from Qingfan (慶藩). The original dates from the Wanli period. It is the first Ming matchlock gun in true sense.

Prototypes are on display at the Xuzhou Museum (徐州博物館).

Though Manchu Bannermen were well known for their archery and love of the bow, they made use of matchlock muskets from the beginning of their reign. Lately, I’ve been doing a bit of research into Manchu Gunnery. This image from a French Book about the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95. The musket this Bannerman is aiming appears to be a percussion cap type. Though the details are a bit difficult to make out. The Qing did have but snap lock matchlocks and percussion cap type muskets, but by and large stuck with the 17th century style simple level serpentine lock. Note the pre-measured loads in the bandolier at his waist and the powder flask the hangs from a strap at his back. He would have also had a primer flask.

More realistic guns for D&D 5E

Some ideas for more realistic guns, with rules that explain why armies would want them and adventurers might not

*Muzzle-Loading: 1 Turn to load powder, 1 Turn to load ball, 1 Turn to prime pan, 1 Turn to shoot. All of this must be done using your action and without moving unless you’re on a horse or vehicle, because you can’t pour powder and ram the ball while running.

Handgonne 14lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon Damage: 1d12 Piercing Properties: Two-handed, Heavy, Ammunition, Range 30/120, Muzzle-Loading*

Matchlocks

Arquebus - 10lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Heavy, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Two-Handed, Range 150/600, Damage 2d8 Piercing

Pistol - 3lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Light, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Range 30/90, Damage 1d10 Piercing

Heavy Gun - 30lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Heavy, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Two-Handed, Range 30/60, Damage 6d4 Piercing (or can fire explosives)

Flintlocks

Palm Pistol, 25gp 1lb, Simple Ranged Weapon, Light, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Range 20/60, Damage 1d8 Piercing

Pistol, 30gp 3lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Light, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Range 30/90, Damage 1d12 Piercing

Blunderbuss, 40gp 7lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Two-Handed, Range 30/60, Damage 6d4 Piercing

Musket, 55gp 10lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Heavy, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Two-Handed, Range 450/900, +1 to Hit, Damage 1d20 Piercing

Rifled Musket, 500gp 14lbs, Martial Ranged Weapon, Heavy, Ammunition, Loading, Two-Handed, Range 900/1500, +2 to Hit, Damage 2d10 Piercing

Hand Mortar, 40gp 5lbs, Simple Ranged Weapon, Ammunition, Muzzle-Loading, Two-Handed, Range 30/60, Damage 2d6 Piercing + 2d6 Fire

More damage and a longer reload makes guns distinct from bows and crossbows, encourages a playstyle consistent with historical use (shoot what you have loaded, then charge with melee weapons), and explains why conscripted armies might use ranks of Pike and Shot or bayonets yet adventurers already skilled with bows and such wouldn't bother with the expense and complexity.

Here is my source for ranges of smoothbore and rifled muskets: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/iusburj/article/view/19841/25918

Hi so I came from the curious archive video and I saw those rifles that the birgs use but u couldn't wrap my head around how they worked like are they muzzel loaded or breech loaded etc. Would be cool if you cleared it up I'm a nerd for speculative weaponry

Hey there! Disclaimer that I am Not a gun person/don’t have as good a grasp on how they work as I’d like, but I’ve been unsatisfied with their look for a while and ended up redesigning them. There’s still probably things I’ll want to tweak, but I think this is more aligned with the new canon

Thank you @primalmuckygoop for suggesting they attach them to their saddles instead of carrying them

By this design they’d almost have have to be breech loading, though shorter light cannons and as yet-undesigned pistols might be muzzle loaders. Nothing more advanced than flintlocks, but more cheaply made matchlock types are still common. All rifles are made to be handled with the medial arms, but reloaded with the head-arms.

In general, birg firearms favor power over accuracy; birgs have poorer visual acuity at long distances than humans.
