No wonder, as this type was originally designed for assassins and other clandestine operatives.

Darts are shot by manipulating a screw-operated spring trigger. Originally a novelty toy, some criminals have bought these and modified them for clandestine operations.\\ |

Due to originally being manufactured as a toy, it is both less effective and more expensive a weapon to acquire than a proper dartgun. Even slingshots prove better projectile weapons ! The balestrino should only be used if there is nothing better at hand for shooting darts.\\ |

In reality, both stingbows and pistol crossbows are not the best of ranged weapons. As a hybrid of a wheellock or flintlock pistol frame and a small crossbow, the pistol crossbow is more about looks than any particular effectiveness. Depending on the specific model, the pistol crossbow can either shoot darts or small crossbow quarrels.\\ |

| **Pelletbow**\\ | **Pelletbow**\\ |
| __Type:__ A special type of light crossbow, largely similar in size to a hunting crossbow, but with a doubled bowstring that includes a tab in the middle. It's, in essence, a hybrid of a manually-loaded light crossbow and a slingshot. It doesn't use bolts at all, eliminating the need to constantly prepare new ones or search for already shot ones. Instead, its slingshot-like specialised bowstring shoots small stones, pebbles, pellets moulded out of clay.\\ | __Description:__ A special type of light crossbow, largely similar in size to a hunting crossbow, but with a doubled bowstring that includes a tab in the middle.

| | **[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCoUWJHhDZ0|Bulbuous container air rifle]]**\\ |
| | __Description:__A weaker, but fairly multi-purpose rifle, that doesn’t need gunpowder, and is thus technically not a firearm in the true sense. It uses compressed air, stored in a bulbous container housed underneath and in front of the chamber and trigger area. //(Note: Based on the real world's Pritchard air rifle from the 1850s and 1860s.)// \\ |

| | **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girandoni_air_rifle|Radirgioni air rifle]]**\\ |
| | __Description:__Invented by a Montoverdin engineer, this is a multi-purpose rifle that doesn’t need gunpowder, and is thus technically not a firearm in the true sense. It uses compressed air, stored in containers housed within the stock area. Surprisingly, it is also a repeater, and arguably one of the most technologically advanced projectile weapons in Aporue, other than the latest experimental types of firearms. Though a rare and expensive rifle, it is excellent for sniping and even hunting and can use calibers available to other muskets and rifles. //(Note: Based on the real world's Girardoni air rifle from the late 18th century.)// \\ |
| | __Reloading time:__ TBA \\ |
| | __Drawbacks:__ Once it runs out of compressed air, it needs to have its containers detached and repumped with air, before it can shoot again. Its rareness, limited availability and high expense of manufacturing and maintaining its parts can prohibit its wider use. In terms of aural stealth, while it is not as loud as gunpowder firearms, it is still at least as loud as some of the louder crossbows.\\ |

| //**longbow**// - size typology. A big, tall bow. Per tradition, it is a wooden selfbow, and shape-wise, it is not significantly recurved. A longbow's limbs are relatively narrow, so that they are circular or D-shaped in cross section, unlike the more rectangular shapes of flatbow cross sections. Size-wise, a longbow is roughly equal to the height of the person who uses it, allowing its user a fairly long draw, at least to the jaw. However, the size of the weapon also prohibits carrying it holstered on the belt or on the back, so it has to be carried by hand. Its also a lot less practical and effective on horseback than a shortbow.\\ | //**longbow**// - size typology. A big, tall bow.

| | __Description:__ Wheellock smoothbore muzzle-loader. Nowadays seen predominantly in civilian hands, as a hunting or home defence weapon, it has become largely obsolete in law enforcement and military use. Can be used on horseback due to its shorter length, similarly to the newer innovation of the carbine. However, it is a bit more unwieldy for that task than a carbine, and also tends to be heavier.\\ |

The muskets are better on foot. The civilian version is more widespread and more suitable for hunting and law enforcement. The military version (a fusil) is far less common and harder to acquire, and due to its military nature somewhat more powerful and even equippable with a bayonet.
