"It would certainly seem that way. I prefer my weapon." [b]He patted his greatsword [/b] "This technology is to difficult."
-
"A sword, eh? Low tech isn't always a bad thing. This gun's about as low tech as you can go without dropping down to muzzle-loaders."
-
"What are these loaders you speak of."
-
"A muzzle loader is when you have to put the projectile down the barrel of the gun. This gun I have I load bullets into the side."
-
"Oh I see. I once had an ally with this loader."
-
"Really? Muzzle-loaders are terrible guns. Did he have a musket or a blunderbuss?"
-
"He had one of those... Hand guns I believe."
-
"A flintlock? Those guns are utterly terrible. Horrible range, horrible accuracy. They don't even have that much stopping power."
-
"Yes a flintlock. However, at the time Twas the most effective weapon there was"
-
"The most effective weapon? He could only fire it once before throwing it away. Flintlocks only fire one bullet before they're ruined."
-
"Yes I am aware. It opened a new branch of weapons we previously did not have."
-
"Actually, the flintlock's design was never improved on. They went off a blunderbuss design originally to get the guns we have today. Well, the handguns and shotguns."
-
"To you, perhaps so. But my history is different."
-
"Really now? What kinda guns does your time have, then?"
-
"We do not have guns. The flintlock opened the branch, but we did not follow. We have swords. Bows. Crossbows"
-
"Alright."
-
"Very much alright."
