Looks like I'm re-downloading and cheesing the hell out of the game for a min-maxed archer, then. I hate archery. This won't end well.

Knife spears remain your eternal friend. You can "f"ire them to stab an extra square away.

Does that throw the spear, or just stab further while keeping it in hand?

[gimlet]

Just stabs while still holding it.   Pretty damn handy.

Yeah after setting my character up to be an archer/lumberjack, there's a SWAT van in the first town with 200 rounds of shotgun ammo.

No guns though. Just caseless shells.

Time to search out a gun skills book and skill up , then u can shoot em from afar or blast em if they get to clsoe.
Some wood traps are always helpful as well

...caseless shells?
Are these slug rounds?

They're rivtech ammunition, for the rivtech guns. Comes in shot and slug IIRC. Can't be unloaded or reloaded for obvious reasons, but you can make homemade rounds with enough skill.

On an unrelated note, I found

An artifact item that blots out the sun and causes the walls near me to gush blood all over everything. Best character, ever.

[Adragis]

I found a similar thing once. Damn napkins.

Also, I know about Rivtech Rounds.
Just... how is caseless shot possible?

 The propellant is also the casing. Or there is no casing. They are typically electronically fired, or in the case of what Daisy did when they were trying it out (in the 60s, thereabouts) was they used really, really compressed air. Dunno how the Russians did it with their caseless 40mm grenades...

The problem that was being addressed was that there's no way to have true caseless ammunition that propels projectiles that don't have a (relatively) precise fit to the barrel.
A more liberal use of the word could lead to having formed powder charges attached to the back of a shot cup or sabot though.
Not truly caseless in that there's still material ejected that isn't the projectile, but close enough, since they're ejected out the end of the barrel.

Fixed that for you.

Wait, when was the gravity gun- after that. Allright. 1841 it is.

Another problem with caseless rounds is that the propellant comes into direct contact with the weapon, causing overheating when it fires, particularly for automatic weapons.
