I want to make guns in my Dwarf fortress.
Not like M-4s or AK-47's. I want flinklocks/blunderbust kind of guns.

Anyone what to share, please?

it's pretty easy actually, open up the raws in your df file and click on objects. From there open up item_weapon and begin creating your gun. I'd start by copying and pasting the crossbow data and going from there. The dwarf fort wiki has some great articles explaining what everything means. After that open up item_ammo and create some bullets.

A true blunderbuss type deal might not really be possible (i.e. scatter shooting) but it could be abstracted at any rate. I'm thinking there could be some sort of riggernigged reaction or material editing to have such a thing, but I'm really, really doubting it at this point. It'd take some massive experimentation with expectations of no viable results. Unfortunately, until Toady adds in aimed ranged attacks, we won't likely see moddable firing rates, exploding ammo, and the like, some of that maybe not ever unless the modders REALLY rally behind the addition for that as a possibility. Even then, it could likely well never happen.

At any rate, as I said, they can certainly be abstracted, but hardly realistic. ! says the modder making gun-type deals for his total conversion mod
