You did offend me. You can't take away my right to post here, just because I don't know anything about guns.
And just from common sense, guns in real life are much different than in a game. You are not that smart, comparing real life to minecraft.
less accurate= less killing.
less killing = less powerful.
Once again, you are talking about things you have no clue about, which is (and this time i dont care if you get offended) idiotic. And real life does play into video games, because we put our perception into them, for example, lets say a sword shoots out jelly instead of dealing damage, that wouldn't make any sense. So saying real life and video games don't mix is ignorant and "not that smart".
also power and accuracy arent the samething, that is fact, because when we talk about power we are talking about stopping power (or hearts in this case), a musket is not accurate but it still has the force to blow your arm off. your idea of things are kind of childish.
apparently that means you won the argument, good job on using that brain power of yours. also this may shock you but people do have different opinions than you, just because it might not be true for you doesnt mean its not true for him.
No to the guns and crossbow for 2 seperate reasons:
Crossbow: A crossbow is a bow mounted on a stick. That's it. It's not interesting, and the power won't be different. It will just make the game nitpicky.
Guns: Guns are out of the time model of minecraft. If we make guns, then we are in essence obligating ourselves to then make Engines, Trains, Gears, Motors, all kinds of steampunk things. This would require making an entire new update just to take Minecraft to the steampunk age.
And it doesn't end there either. If we make a steampunk update, then someone is going to come along and say "hey, let's make a laser rifle." And then they will want a Future minecraft. And it goes on and on.
1) thats implying, which is a pretty bad thing to do 2) we already have all of those things in minecraft (powered minecarts, pistons, etc) 3) guns do fit in the timeline of minecraft (even though there isnt a timeline) because believe it or not they did exist during medieval times, (but pistons and powered minecarts did not)
If they are sooo in accurate, they would be less powerful than bows. Then, they are pointless, because a bow is easy to make.
you obviously don't know a great deal about guns, now thats not a bad thing but when you are opposing an idea and you know nothing about it then it becomes bad. it also proves that your perception of guns is horribly skewed, none of this is meant to be offensive so if it is I apologize but please find out more about a topic before supporting/objecting it.
The fact that you have to enchant something to make it even slightly usable, is bad.
you are missing the point of the idea that we are trying to give, in most cases realism in video games is bad but here it makes perfect sense, the gun would be a hard hitting but not very accurate weapon that would only be good in either groups or in ambush situations. If you tried to only use a gun in minecraft pvp then you would probably die often, swords would be superior in CQC situations (like how it actually was during the arquebus's time). And to be honest its obvious that it was never about guns being too OP and what not, it was always just about people not liking guns, because no matter how balanced it is people will always have some kind of strange advertence to them.
Moved the Icarus to a new world, the Undaunted and the Harbinger are soon to follow. I decided to move to a new world for better placement of my ships and a better place to build my eventual city.
here is a pic of the entire Icarus:
i can only get pics like these in MCEdit. that's why the texture is defalt.
if you want a greater view distance then you should use optifine, works great for me.
The following images are projects that I have done in creative mode, I've made these zeppelins because I find the concept of them very interesting. They are a combination of naval battleships and zeppelins.
For greater view distance I am using optifine.
note: some of the detail in the images might be hard to see, so be sure to enlarge them to be able to see all of the details on the ship. Arbiter Images (Flagship):
The Arbiter is a massive flagship I made that is 512 blocks long and 128 blocks tall.
Monarch Images:
The Monarch is a carrier, it was the first airship I made out of the four ship fleet. Top:

Don't like it? well then heres a joke for your time.

People will always make the things they are against sound bad so others will agree with them

And that was how it actually worked back in the arquebus's time, which is something some people don't seem to get.

glad you like it! And I will definitley be showing the rest of my ships when I can find a shader for 1.5.2
I am actually thinking about doing a floating docking station
