The Empire is a beacon for all human learning and culture in a dangerous world, its light surrounded on all sides by dark forces that constantly threaten to extinguish it.Ī huge realm of ancient and dangerous forests and prosperous farms contrasted with sprawling metropolises, the diversity of the Empire’s landscapes is matched only by that of its people. These brave men are more than prepared to lay down their lives to protect the lands and people they hold dear. It is the variety of these troop types that is the chief strength of an Empire army. Ever on a war footing, ranks upon ranks of highly trained professional soldiers make up the nation’s backbone. Though his reign has long-since ended, the Empire is nevertheless a force to be reckoned with. Since Sigmar first united the primitive tribes of men, the nation has had to fight for its very survival with constant vigilance. Puckle’s career as a gunsmith ended in failure for him and his investors.Tempered in battle from the moment of its birth, the Empire represents the last bastion of Mankind. The British Royal Navy never bought any, and other users were equally reluctant to part with their money. One odd feature of the design was the two versions offered to potential customers: a round barrel fired conventional bullets for shooting at Christian (but not Protestant) enemies, while a second barrel was offered that fired square bullets (that allegedly did more damage) for use against Turks and similar unwelcome infidels. His gun had promise, though, as it could fire shots around three times faster than a well-trained fusilier.
Historically, James Puckle’s “defence gun” was not a huge success, partly because the engineering of 1718 simply wasn't up to the task of producing components with fine tolerances. As long as loaded magazines are available for the piece, a puckle gun can be kept in rapid fire action! All this is achieved mechanically, by the operator revolving a handle at the back of the piece. It achieves this by using pre-loaded breech chambers that are rotated into line with the barrel, fired and then a new chamber is positioned for the next shot.
