TNT:
Standard TNT block, detonates with Flint And Steel, Redstone Charge, or catching on fire.
Grenades:
Lobbed explosive, has half the range of a snowball. Deals 4 hearts of damage on impact, with the damage point being deducted by 1 heart for each block away the target is, giving it an effective blast radius of 4 blocks, with the 5th block just doing knockback. Does not destroy blocks, and can damage the player as well if they are caught in the blast radius, making it impractical for CQC. Grenades are crafted using gravel, gunpowder, and Iron, and can be stacked up to 16. Grenades cannot be Enchanted.
Launcher:
Uses Grenades as Ammunition, but boosts the range to half that of a fully drawn bow. Launchers only fire at a fixed range, and cannot be "drawn" like bows. Each firing uses a bit of durability, the standard Launcher having a total of 64 uses before it breaks. The weapon's explosive ordinance makes it impractical for CQC. Crafted using Wood Planks, a stick, 2 Iron, 1 Gunpowder, and a Flint and Steel. Launchers can be Enchanted with Unbreaking.
Cannon:
An upgraded Launcher, cannons are too massive to wield by hand, and must be placed on a Cannon Base before being able to be operated. Cannon bases are comprised of any pair of connected fence posts, and the cannon goes nestled between them. Cannons also use Grenades as Ammo, while also increasing their Damage by 2 hearts, and their blast radius by 2 blocks. Cannons are stationary, but can be aimed 45 degrees laterally, and 15 degrees vertically in either direction. Once placed, right click a cannon to man it, and aim in whichever direction you want to fire. Firing a cannon requires the player to have both a Flint and Steel, and a Grenade in their inventory. Right clicking again while operating the cannon will prime it, causing a 1.5 second delay while the fuse burns before it fires. Firing the cannon will take 1 Use away from the Flint and Steel with the least uses remaining, as well as expend 1 Grenade. Cannons are crafted using 3 Gunpowder, a Dispenser, two Iron Blocks, and a String. Cannons cannot be Enchanted.

You can make a .50 cal rifle from pre-made parts, or like make a barrel with aluminum foil? If it's the second one, I think survivalism would be a good sport for you...
The more op, the merrier

Jesus Christ... I guess Flan's mod isn't as unrealistic as I thought it was...
I suggest the first rocket launchers, the ones the ancient Chinese used.
Last, I might be able to give you concept art. I'm working on a flan pack that will include weapons from just about every era of warfare, so I'll have all these.
Well, I just want to point out some things.
1 If you disagree with the guns, don't give an opinion such as stereotypes.
EX. I think this idea is stupid, you COD fanboys should go somewhere else.
2 His timeline is to disprove any comments about how advanced firearms are. Generally, the first thing that comes to mind with "gun" is the modern gun. If you take the time to read, then you may be able to create an educated comment.
3 Guns do not relate to violent games turning people violent. I believe it is scientifically proven.
4 Minecraft has no set time period. Explain the Ender Dragon and creepers? Maybe in a post apocalyptic era?
5 People generally think of factions and arenas, maybe Survival Games when they think of MP PVP, remember the automated PVP servers.
6 Statistics and logic states that most people who agree tend not to support the topic openly, while the negatives are more vocal.
So, if anything is wrong, tell me, considering that I'm typing this at 3 in the morning. First in this page!
Crossbow FTW! but the others......maybe next time.
1 I believe that crossbows were depicted of having a higher penetrating power than the English longbow.
2 Minecraft has no set time period. Also, guns were invented before the Medieval Ages.
3 The Slippery Slope argument. This usually holds little position in a discussion about how we are suggesting guns. Adding guns is means more variety. Like food. Why have pork and steak if they give the same hunger value?
"If there are creepers, then I want gunpowder. If there is gunpowder, I want guns. If there is guns, then I'll be sad" (This is an exagerration)
4 The Steampunk Age doesn't exist, the proper term is "Industrial Revolution." Correct me if I'm wrong.
