I’ve made at least two separate posts about guns on Alternia here before, but I’ve been thinking about it some more and I’m pretty sure at least if there IS an existing industry / manufacturing community of bullet-based firearms, it was developed BY lowbloods for use AGAINST lowbloods.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned at least once before that I don’t think bullets would really be able to do anything to a highblood. Repeated machine gun fire into one was a minor inconvenience. An early weapon like a musket or even something more advanced like a revolver? No chance.

Lowbloods, on the other hand, probably are physically weak enough to be able to sustain permanent injuries from getting a bullet inside them. They’re also probably technically minded enough to come up with that sort of thing and realise it has more powerful applications than a bow, which is the highest martial technology highbloods can apparently muster.
