New Range Weapons: Flintlock rifles/pistols and hand cannons

Just a silly idea:

For melee weapons we have a plethora of weapons: Battle-axes, maces, 2 handed, daggers, short swords and longswords. Even the woodcutting axe can be used as a weapon

However for range, we only have short and long bows, crossbows, throwing darts, knives, and spears, and dwarf cannon.

Hence I have a suggestion to increase the variety of range weapons: include flintlocks rifles/pistols and hand cannons. The ammunitions can be pellets (bronze pellets, iron pellets, rune pellets, etc) and it needs gunpowder to fire these pellets. This is so that it wont replace the bows as the ideal range weapon.

It doesn't conflict with the fantasy settings as more fantasy media are starting to include firearms (Warcraft, Warhammer universe, etc). Therefore i think its a good idea to have them in RSCR too.

Let me know if this sounds cool.

Also we can consider having explosive potions and blowpipes using darts as ammunitions for range weapons too.

i think the only cool thing to add would be blowpipes that are super rare and use darts with them

Yeah im thinking explosives would be too overpowered in a game like RS. We already have spells for that

Or make them super expensive and need high level to craft them.

Well then we can have guns and blowpipes. What do you think, mods?

Sure higher price would counter it a bit for not being OP but then; would people use it? most likely not.
Explosives like Dynamite would perhaps go but no need for any other like C4 or such. Doesn't fit into the game.

The pipe can increase damage of the darts to make it worth it.

I guess if we were to put explosive weapons we have to make it fantasy-themed and not something out of Rainbow Six. Dynamite is too modern for RS. Maybe those classic black ball bomb with fuse string on them that requires tinderbox to light?

Iban blast was a great one but people cried for weeks because it "unfair", so n0m removed it. The same thing will happen if we get anything better than what we have.

We can make flintlock guns members only so it cannot be used in F2P wildy. Also i suggested the guns used gunpowder which is finite together with the pellets like a real flintlock (making it use 2 "forms of ammunitions" together as opposed to bow which uses arrows only) to balance it. Lastly the guns uses different materials of pellets like how bows uses different types of arrows to provide variety of damages depending on the materials.

I doubt it will be overpowered if applied correctly

We can also make it such that leather armor provides excellent damage reduction against arrows and pellets but weak against melee attacks, making it RS version of bulletproof vest

Iban was p2p and wasn't op either, we'll never get anything good

When you put it like that it sounds dope. Implement them as a drop item from slayer
