Dwarves are probably advanced enough to create steam powered pistols / rifles.

However, given the choice between a hand-held device that shoots metal, and a giant pressurized-magma cannon, what would you choose?

Magma cannon > rifle

[Neruz]

Dwarf technology is all over the place; they're capable of complete annihilation on an atomic level (or alternitively, interdimensional travel) as well as perpetual motion machines and machinegun crossbows, yet at the same time a simple wheelbarrow is apparantly beyond their capabilities.

[Lonewolf]

Dwarves of the technocracy use Flamethrowers.

[XSI]

Now that I think of it...

All dwarves get buried naked.

I'll take the magma cannon, thank you.

[Vester]

All dwarves get buried naked.

Naked as the day they were born. If you think about it, it's a cool ritual burial custom.

Speaking of... Babies don't have clothing when they are born (this is okay) but they never get put into clothing by their mother... And when they grow up to kids they instantly get clothing?! I have always thought that was really weird.

I could've swore they had to pick up their clothing.  Also, I think that the problem isn't that they don't have the capabilities, just they don't have knowledge of the physics involved with pressure and gases, so they don't mess with them.

Atomic, you say?

Well, my construction/mining parties have come across some pitchblende inside one of the mountain peaks. I believe I have a self-destruct mechanism set for my good old-fashioned steam-powered airship. And with a little bit of tinkering, I could fashion a gearbox and driveshaft to setup an auto-ballista on the sides of the ship, along with a flamethrower at the nose.

If you want the very definition of the dwarven technology level, seek the Bloodfist. But, by the time you see it, you're already dead.

My response: Pitchblende... refined. And auto-ballistae.

You can sorta say that this guy is part of the construction/engineering team.

Gases dont exist.

Dwarves are magmapunk!
