    10 Barrel Volley Gun
   The volley gun is designed to utilize the effectiveness of the rank and file system used by infantry. This improvised chariot has 10 rifle barrels mounted onto the front with a conjoined pan attached to them, to reload one must simply detach the barrels from a the pan with a simple woodblock locking system and attach the other preloaded barrels which are kept in the chariot.

The most effective way to use this weapon is to use its power to break cavalry charges  and have the rank and file soldiers (with there muskets still loaded) advance and crush the shattered cavalry , thus freeing up soldiers who can be used elsewhere in the battle.

Tefnut-Class Brigantine
A two-masted, triple-decked brigantine ship which uses a variety of square and triangular sails for propulsion. It has a large cargo hold, which allows it to transport materials in addition to its role as a combat vessel. This primary goal is achieved through the use of 24 Seth Demi-Culverins. Eight are mounted on the second deck on each side, for a total of sixteen. Above, in the open first deck, two point forwards, two point back, and two are mounted on each side there as well. It's wooden hull, while not modern, will suffice for the competition it will face.

M1901 Lever Action Repeating Rifle "Shais' Gift"
-In this weapon, three major developments are included. Firstly, the CA-1901 .45 caliber brass rimless cartridge. It uses a newly developed smokeless powder to propel a conical 300 grain lead bullet. The second development is made possible by the first, being the lever action. this allows a greater rate of fire alongside allowing soldiers to use the weapon while prone. The third and final feature of the rifle is the loading mechanism. The weapon does hold only one shot, but ten. this internal stacked magazine can be loaded either by single cartridges or 5rnd stripper clips from the top, or individually through a loading gate while the action is closed. Altogether these developments allow the rifle to greatly improve the combat ability of our infantry and put an end to the massed line battle tactics currently in use.

Notes:
-I am no bullet wizard, and have basically just aped the historical .45-60 cartridge but with smokeless powder. If anyone wishes to recommend a different bullet, be my guest. Feedback is welcome.
-Also regarding the bullet choice, ie. not going for a buo ha buster snorter cartridge similar to those used in ww1 bolt action rifles that can go 1k yards, this cartridge is more efficient and effective to realistic combat ranges, up to around 300y.

I change my vote.

[TricMagic]

To be fair, why change? We have a superior check on our current guns. Let's improve our number of advantages this turn.

[TheFantasticMsFox]

Yes we have a rifle advantage, but i think an overwhelming one is better. A cartridge rifle is a Big deal, this is going to make line battle tactics a non option. This also allows us to begin work on shell firing artillery, as well as other fire arm goodies.

[TricMagic]

Maybe, but that can happen next time. Would rather have an overwhelming sea advantage quickly, and the design also allows our cannons to be used.

[Aseaheru]

 So, rimmed or rimless cartridges? How hard are you making it to get proper headspacing?

[TheFantasticMsFox]

Rimless,  ill clarify that.

[Aseaheru]

 Well, have fun getting yer manufacturing to be decent enough to have proper headspacing while cranking out piles und piles of gats.

We have access to Self-Replicating Lathes, Steel Mills, and other things I forgot you need for gunsmithing; how difficult can it actually be?

Let’s get the voting clear eh?

Tefnut-Class Brigantine, Hard (1+1-1) Complete Disaster
The Tefnut-Class Brigantine is our first ship designed to go underwater. No literally, all of the prototypes we made after all this time sank, in fact, one of them was lit on fire before exploding violently due to the fire reaching the powder kegs on board. In fact, the furthest we got to a working design was one that capsized when attempting to fire all of its guns on a broadside. The best part about all of this? Its not even a Brigantine, its just one of the ships we already used ever so slightly modified to actually have guns on it. You might be wondering where did all of this go so wrong, and we have a solid answer, in fact, we have two. The first one is that their was major miscommunication between the many engineers, with the few who actually had the proper design being pushed away by the many others who had been misinformed believing we wanted a riverboat that could sail not just rivers but the seas and also was stuffed with cannons. The second one was that while our high priest devoted to Shai was sick, and apparently, a self proclaimed priest of Set decided, or rather in his own words, was told to by Set himself, to trash the temple dedicated to Shai late in the night until he was found and subdued by the priests there. It should be mentioned that, while we haven't learned anything about brigantines and their construction from all of this, we have learned the value in communication and telling everyone firmly and clearly what their being payed to design so we don't end up having to deal with this again.

It is now the Revision Phase. The Pharaoh is not impressed.

[TricMagic]

Revise our communication so this doesn't happen again.

Also, make some blueprints for next time.

On a more serious note, let's see If we can improve our chariots with steel.
