>>6294010>>6294021>>6294067>>6294047>Han Solo space cowboy mauser pistol (Han Solo is warlord era Chinese, so appropriate)In terms of these retrofuture guns I am very fond of just the look of the huge hammer lever Borchardt (I think I only learnt about it from imfdb after collecting it whilst playing Red Dead Redemption 2) the Borchardt has the ultimate impractical steampunk or airship balloon pirate look, for some reason for me it also evokes notions of gentlemanly aristocratic explorer adventurers in a Jules Verne -esque setting. I featured this firearm very briefly in my Edwardian / ww1 era setting. In terms of French guns, I like the French revolvers and I deliberately chose a very obscure one the Galand 1870 as the "hero gun" of my game (bullets fired from the land of the Living appear in the Land Of The Dead, and vice versa, spent bullets fired in the Dead Land reappear in the Living Land etc) I chose the Galand entirely because the hinged trigger guard disassembly reload is unique and very cool and I replicated the long trigger pull in the dice roll mechanics hehe
Some other faacinating guns from the 19th-20th early century era might be the Burgess folding shotgun or those tilt-loading shotgun autoreloaders (Alofs?) they all have distinctive and cool mechanical actions, yay I could easily see them in some hybrid sci-fantasy setting (eg imported from planets with more primitive / lapsed backward barbaric technologies etc) Not sure how to integrate them into gameplay beyond just descriptive embellishment and flair though
