The rifles the Northerners use are neat and I'm simply just proud of the thought I put into it. I've decided to share the rifles listed below.473Please respect copyright.PENANA7cE0cLSFf5
For the rifles, please take reference to the LANCAR Mk1 sketch I made for the LANCAR Mk1,
Original Unnamed Rifle473Please respect copyright.PENANA1AIkvjT0Bw
The original rifles the Far Landers brought over was unnamed, as far as anyone knows. They used strange mechanics that wouldn't last long with the resources in Magon territory, and not much is really known or cared about them.
Field Cutter473Please respect copyright.PENANAj42gasaeh8
The Field Cutter was a simple, long rifle that shot forth rock balls in a short distance. Since iron wasn't very abundant in the Magon lands, the first North settlers had to improvise something quickly. What they came up with was a cheap, wooden and copper shotgun-type rifle that broke after only some dozen uses. It fended off barbarians and animals, so it was a good quickie that allowed the Northerners to continue to live on in their early days.
LANCAR Mk1473Please respect copyright.PENANANnWa68XkAE
LANCe-shAped Rifle, mark one. Commonly called the LANCAR, for short. The first Magon-based rifle known to the world itself, the LANCAR used compressed bullets with spells infused upon them.473Please respect copyright.PENANAci8gL33XKZ
First, a single round was inserted into the ammunition hole. The first, smaller outer trigger was cocked with the back of the right hand. The second, larger inner trigger was cocked with the palm of the right hand, then the first pushed further, so that the ball could touch the copper wire in place. After that, the combustion happens and the bullet shoots quickly. After every shot, the copper wire would need to be unwound with the spindle, and pushed into the crevice it needs to be through. Some soldiers would ready the ball, then unwind the copper, but that could misfire as the wire might need pushed into place, harming a finger if it were in there.473Please respect copyright.PENANA0HxGcvHoyY
The bullet would be pushed far through the barrel and released at the end. After a shot, air and smoke would spray out of the copper placement crevice, and smoke would come out of the barrel. Usually the copper would fly out of the crevice.473Please respect copyright.PENANABsC0XYAC4B
Often the copper would need to be replaced and also fixed back into the tiny crevice that keeps the ball from touching the whole spindle. A space, large enough for a single finger, was made to combat this problem so that a soldier could put the copper wire back in place.473Please respect copyright.PENANAcesfKAR6CS
The triggers would have to be cocked back into place after firing, making the LANCAR Mk1 a slower rifle than its first predecessor.
LANCAR Mk2473Please respect copyright.PENANAyMRH5dSa6L
The LANCAR Mk2, usually just called the Minkerington, named after the original designer for the rifle, is similar to the LANCAR Mk2, but has its differences. There is only one trigger, and the second trigger is replaced with an internal mechanism. The ammo is inserted through an ammunition hole, and a 7x13mm copper block is inserted at the same time through another hole. Once the trigger is pulled, the ammo ball meets the copper piece, it explodes, and the copper flies out the right side of the rifle from the pressure.473Please respect copyright.PENANAA2ddeXH5bH
One volatile error about the Minkerington is that the copper piece can sometimes stay lodged in the hole, and it was discovered during a prototype testing. After it was discovered, the final product featured a small pair of stoneware tongs attached on the bottomside of the rifle, able to be detached and used on the lodged copper piece to take the obstacle out of the hole. Thus, though the Minkerington is quicker in firing and reloading than the LANCAR Mk1, the copper implications would still slow down any military troops.
Hempler 7mm Rifle473Please respect copyright.PENANA4gcDzqjM8G
Commonly called the Hempler, humbly named after it's inventor, the Hempler 7mm Rifle uses the unique 7mm Powder Ammunition to fire rounds accurately, precisely, and far. Because the 7mm ammunition was the first to use fire as the ignition, the Hempler was designed with a hammer and pin. The hammer would be used to ignite the powder inside the bullet, and the "pin" would be used to keep the shell from flying from the top after shooting. Some custom models remove the pin and have an extra slot and mechanism so that the shell flies from the side (typically the left) when shot.473Please respect copyright.PENANAu6UTezzvDU
To load the Hempler, one bullet would be inserted into the ammunition slot on the topside of the rifle, and the pin would be secured (as to make sure the bullet's shell wouldn't fly out of the top after shooting). After firing, the pin is let loose, and the shell lightly pops out of the slot. Afterwards, the gun is loaded again.473Please respect copyright.PENANAXeIrsj2f9R
Custom models without the pin and with an extra output slot for the shell do not require involvement of the pin. All the user needs to do is insert the bullet, cock their custom "pole", and fire the weapon. The "pole" is the alternative of the pin in this case, and is much quicker to secure than the pin.
CS Ammo473Please respect copyright.PENANARF81MzBW5E
Compressed Spell-based Ammunition. Orb spells were used to compress rocks so tightly that it caused a massive explosion in a minuscule space, due to crushing the atoms together. What emerged were metal-like balls, near-perfect spheres, that when tampered with copper (which conducts magic like electricity on wire), explodes.
7mm Powder Ammo473Please respect copyright.PENANAr88c7gighT
7mm Powder Ammunition, also known as 7mm's or "black silt" ammo. Black silt was originally used as a chemical substitute for a powder found in the old North rifle's ammunition. However, since it was a chemical substitute and not a material substitute, it was obviously inhaled and ingested once. Thus, black silt became a drug, usually smuggled from the makeshift laboratories in Northern territory to the common populace.473Please respect copyright.PENANAYxOGgnHWco
Black silt is extremely vulnerable to fire. Thus, a small amount is inserted into thin cylindrical shells of tin or copper, with andesite (gathered from the ever-erupting Mount Pompei) half-spheres as tips for puncture when fired, and when the hammer of a Hempler comes down, it fires beautifully.473Please respect copyright.PENANAv6ByYvh6Go
Even though only a bit of the powder is used, the ignition of the powder creates a larger combustion than the original gunpowder in the first rifles the Northerners brought over.
