New Weapons! (Note: If any of these weapons or ideas were already suggested, please tell me and I will remove it)
Hello people of Minecraft forum! I was thinking.. Minecraft needs new weapons. Im tired of using an axe or a sword or a bow to kill mobs. How about some new ones?
I have come with many new weapons. Some from other games, but used in history. None of these are unreal weapons that human's could never have possessed.
The first ones are the ranged the second are the heavy weapons the third are the light weapons and fourth are light ranged weapons/ammo.
Ranged
Crossbow: The crossbow is a upgraded bow with more pros than cons. It has half the range of a bow. It does 6 hearts of damage. A crossbow can only go 30 (Max) blocks compared to 120 of a bow
A crossbow uses crossbow bolts (bolts for short) to fire. A crossbow does not need charged, but can only hold 3 bolts at a time. The refilling of the bolts takes 1 sec per arrow (3 secs per maximum allowed at a time). If you only have 2 bolts, It will only take two bolts. You can stop the action by walking and any arrows in the crossbow will be able to be used.
Right clicking would shoot the crossbow (No charging! )
Arm cannon: Yep. You read it right. A cannon that can go on your arm! An arm cannon is exactly like the crossbow, but it can only go 15 blocks, But it makes a small crater. This small explosian does 1 heart of damage.
The crossbow idea has been thrown about mods, topics and tweets to the devs more than any item suggestion in minecraft! as for the "arm cannon" this is a stupid idea simply for the fact minecraft is a "medieval" based game! although minecraft has no set time zone it would be to random and doesn't fit the feel of minecraft whatsoever!
(im not being a "troll" im just giving you constructive critiscism)

You claim that Minecraft is a somewhat medieval themed game. However, we have pistons and redstone. Also, they had cannons in medieval times, and there has been evidence of smaller, handheld cannons being used by both knights and japanese samurai.

Ever hear of something called running away? Its like running towards them, but without the confrontation and death.
Like i said although it doesn't have a set time period! But the hand cannon wouldn't fit with the minecraft feel! crossbow i could see being used as we already have a bow and the crossbow are both similar weapons! a hand cannon is to much like a gun! thats all it is a medieval gun if im putting it bluntly and im 99.9% sure mojang said they'd never add guns into the game! also the hand cannon seems far to over powered! minecraft is balanced the way it is. Jeb said he wasn't going to add any more armor/weapon/tool tire's as its balanced the way it is! i know the hand cannon wouldn't come under the section but it would destroy how the game runs currently! and so it or anything like it should never be added into the game! especially with the crafting recipe he has given! it is far to simple to collect and so would make the game too "easy"
I have yet to see actual evidence that a gun would be OP at all. I will not change my stance unless someone can give complete proof that all firearms would inherently be unbalanced in some way.
Second, "it doesn't fit minecraft" is a very poor argument. I could just as easily argue that pistons, enchantments, even redstone and creepers don't fit minecraft's "feel".

That is all I have for the ranged suggestions. This topic is pretty big, so I will do it in segments. I will post the other ones later!
The arm cannon seems a little OP..., maybe it could only destroy the block it hits with limitations? (blast resistance

Anyways, this is highly redundant.
