Actually, shift clicking makes that a much better idea. I also personally think that 1 bullet should be enough to kill an un armored player in one shot, to make up for the high resource cost and slow reload time.
But that would require that enemies have their health boosted to not overpower it. So I would think something more along the lines of 16 damage (keep in mind the player has 20 hitpoints)

You know how you need milk buckets to make a cake, but they turn into buckets after?
Well maybe to represent lighting a fuse without losing the whole d*mn torch you just need it in the crafting grid to make a loaded gun but it isn't consumed. How's that?
I hope you meant firearms, else you'd be retarded.
And to answer your question, why do we need minecarts when we have our feet? Why do we need TNT when we have picks/shovels?
As an alternative. Thus is the reason we would like a firearm in Minecraft.
Nope. The goal(?) of mine craft is diamonds and here it is wood flint and stuff like that
I don't think goal is the word, but I get what your saying. And honestly, I think that a firearm could stand to be a bit more expensive, but I'm not advocating it being made of diamonds, obsidian, and gold.
However, I do think that making it have around 50 (give or take 10) uses until it breaks is a good balance to it being (slightly) cheap.
Which brings me to another suggestion for the gun: You can put in in a crafting grid, along with gold like so: :Flint and Steel:
( :Flint and Steel: is the Arquebus)
To make an ornate Arquebus, with the uses increased to about 75.
Yay or nay, fellow Minecraftians?

For a reinforced weapon, gold wouldn't make sense, it would be more ornamental. Just do iron.
Personally I love the bows and would stick with them, a gun would waste too much of my time in every single way.
Hold on I have an idea! Guns do more to armor then bows, if anything had armor that is..

Well, gold is rare(ish), and iron is already used alot in the recipe.
I do like bows, as well. But an arquebus woud have a different tactical (and I use that term very loosely) use than a bow.
And also, I'm thinking the opposite of your idea. It would make more sense if bullets would go through armor with little damage to the armor.

i really like your way of argumentation and well, pretty much everything you have written here so far.
But still, I really think that the presence of guns (even if they were old and not hightech), would change the atmosphere of the game.
But I can imagine it as something that brakes instantly. A crafted, one-time-only, loaded gun with one shot.
Maybe...
... Because carrying a gun around all the time, like we carry the bow and arrows... hmm...
And I don't want to be working towards a gun in minecraft to be honest
Maybe something that is a kind of mix between the splash potions and a gun. With one use.
But I am really not sure about anything here.
That would be quite useless, unless it, like, shot TNT, and then it would be useless for anything other than griefing.
But if Notch says no to any type of gun, no matter the era, Then you gave me an idea: a potion launcher. You would load it with splash potions, in a similar manner to the Arquebus. It would be 'invincible', and different damages would represent the unloaded state (0) and loaded with different splash potions (1-x).
Actually, the Arquebus shouldn't have uses for the challenge of getting the loaded and unloaded states. And I like the idea posted somewhere that to further distinguish the Arquebus from the bow, the Arquebus should have several different ammo types, such as a stone ball, an armor-piercing iron ball, a piece of gravel/flint for a shotgun-like blast, and perhaps netherrack for a flaming shot that does about half the standard damage, but it goes a bit farther and has a good chance of lighting the target on fire.
I have a feeling that if guns are implemented, - even low-tech ones - people will use it as an argument for more advanced guns "well we already have guns, why not make some new ones?"
We have explosives in the game, and it's apparent that not many people want nukes, C4, and other, more modern explosives.

And also, for anyone who says, "NOTCH SAID NO GUNZ!!!!!!1!!!111!!!!!eleven", I looked through that "what Notch actually said" topic, and the closest thing he said to that is him saying he wants to stay away from technology.
And an Arquebus wouldn't be much technology added. We have everything needed.

darn arquebus is difficult to reload right? doesnt that effectively make it a watered-down shotgun with all its pellets replaced with one massive slug?
I want flintlock guns and they should be like the ones in Minegunner,albeit with an automatic reload which slows you down and plays an animation like the eating one,but without the particles flying everywhere.
That's all.

Yo dawg I heard you like playing Portal so now you can play Portal while playing Minecraft while going to Hell.

I think that the craft-to-reload is a better idea, more realistic, and more unique.

I have two ideas, one of which came from some guy on GetSatisfaction:
1.) the normal shot would be pretty inaccurate, but you could charge it up, like the bow, but instead of becoming more powerful or having more range, the stages of charge cause the shot to be more accurate. Credit to some guy on GetSatisfaction for this idea.
2.) Instead of having uses, which would be exceedingly difficult to code, there could be an about 25% chance that instead of becoming an unloaded arquebus, it would become a 'dirty arquebus', which you would have to craft with cleaning materials. I don't exactly know what cleaning materials it would require, possibly wool, a water bucket (you would keep the bucket), or some other material. Suggestions are welcomed.

Great idea for guns all in one thread but what about a installer and you install certain guns / gun packs like
World war 2 guns
Medical weapons (bows etc)
Primeval like darts etc.
Hmm... I'd say no, but I would support if Notch does something like that in the actual game.
No, out of the setting in minecraft since its mid-evil and there was no guns in mid-evil times
Plus, we have bows so there is no point in guns
your ignorance has just killed a kitten. :sleep.gif:

Another idea I had was that there would be two guns, a sidearm and a longarm, and that the previously mentioned 'accuracy charge-up' would only affect the longarm.
Also, bump!

Ha...I would be fine with an old fashioned Flintlock pistol, but nothing more.
Yes, a flintlock pistol would be good. It's not like we're asking for lazor rifles.
But, I'm intrigued, what did you mean by 'Ha...'?

the thing is that if notches annouces guns, even if its good like the flintlock, there will be so many anti-gun threads that the mods will have to ban them.
Possibly.
But is that a bad thing?
