Talk:5e Renaissance Weapons

Early Automatic firearms

Maxim Gun (usually tripod-mounted - it's just bad luck what resulted in handheld maxim gun being made 29 years after normal Maxim gun) and bolt-action rifles were invented in 19-th century. Semi-auto rifles also were invented in 19-th century - albeit, they were expensive, and so were used as hunting weapons for nobles. 95.71.91.148 04:58, 28 September 2024 (MDT)

The technological ages are based on those presented on page 268 of the DMG, where powder firearms are labeled Renaissance, and true cartridge firearms are labeled Modern. If I had to give a precise cut off, it would probably be the Industrial Revolution, which would put the 19th century well within modern technology.--Ref3rence (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2024 (MDT)
