Flintlock Weapons Mod for Minecraft 1.6.4/1.6.2/1.5.2

Gun Barrel

Large Gun Barrel

Flintlock Mechanism

Revolver Cylinder

Gunpowder

(note that this only works with coal, not charcoal)

Pebble

Round Shot

Buckshot

Cannonball

Heatshot

Grapeshot

Dummy Round

Jury-rigged pistol made from cheap materials. Short range and won’t last very long. You can only have one of these in your hotbar at a time; if you shoot one, any other loaded makeshift pistols in your hotbar will be moved to your inventory.

Crafting

Loading

Basic flintlock pistol. Holds only one shot, but has decent range and is the most durable and reliable.

Crafting

Loading

(can use buckshot also for spread pattern)

Quite self-explanatory. More complicated design means less durability and higher chance of misfire.

Crafting

Loading

Same as pistol, but can hold two shots

One of the strangest weapons in history, it has four barrels flared in different directions to hit multiple targets. Load with 1-4 round shot, and it will shoot all of them at once in a spread pattern. Note that none of the barrels point straight forward, so you won’t hit what your crosshairs are over.

Crafting

Loading

The most effective spread pattern weapon. Shoots buckshoot with a better spread and range than a pistol, but takes twice the gunpowder. One pellet is guarnteed to travel exactly where you’re aiming.

Crafting

Loading

Most expensive and arguably most powerful weapon other than the puckle gun. Holds six shots, but must be repaired often and has a high chance of misfire. Slightly less range and power than the pistol as well.

Crafting

Loading

Same as pistol, but holds six shots. Cannot shoot buckshot.

Long-range but gunpowder-hungry weapon. Bayonet does damage equivalent to an iron sword when melee attacking and does 1/10 of the damage to the gun as firing a shot.

Crafting

Loading

Even longer range than the musket, but takes more gunpowder (and no bayonet). Two-step loading.

First…

Prime unloaded gun with a paper wad

Then…

Another odd weapon, but a very powerful one. Holds 11 shots in a revolving barrel. Slightly better range than the musket, but must be standing in a puckle gun mount in order to shoot it. This is an iron block that you stand on with four iron blocks on each side and a block up around you. See the picture in the screenshots sections if that confused you

Crafting

Loading

Definitely the most fun weapon to use. Shoots a cannonball which explodes on impact. Takes two steps to reload and can be loaded with a half or full load of gunpowder depending on the range you want. Cannot be inlaid.

Crafting

Loading

First…

Prime unloaded gun with a paper wad

Then…

Load a cannonball into your primed cannon for half load, or

for a full load with almost twice the range.

Devastating in the right hands. Right clicking on the base opens a GUI in which you can adjust the angle and elevation of the cannon. The top button loads gunpowder into the cannon (max of 6, more powder, more range), the middle ones loads its corresponding ammo, and the bottom button fires the cannon. The bar on the right is a cooldown timer and will be light blue when ready to fire. Can also be fired by giving it a redstone pulse, allowing you to link them together for awesome defenses (of course you still have reload them all manually!).

Ammo Types

Cannonball – standard explosive round; packs a bigger bang than if fired out of a hand cannon

Heatshot – a cannonball wrapped in oil-soaked paper or tarp (or in Minecraft, netherrack) that causes fires around the blast area

Grapeshot – Small metal balls bundled together and fired at once; essentially a giant shotgun. Doesn’t do terrain damage but is very effective at taking out groups of targets or moving targets

Dummy Round – Intended for target practive in survival mode; very cheap to craft and leaves behing a block where it lands that can be picked up and re-fired
