I am a different Anon from the one who was being argumentative, or the poster (if those are different people), and I find that none of these "new gun" ideas seem useful or practical, or, in at least one case, possible in universe. A rifle would not be placed in-game because use of a rifle requires two hands (at least, if one wishes to keep two hands), which would ruin the sword-and-other gameplay style that makes this game fun. A gatling gun would be very hard to pull off with whale oil, as it would probably simply experience a chain reaction, then explode uselessly. Watchtowers function well enough. There is already a fairly simple way, in the game, to deactivate guns (remove the capacity of the gun's wielder to fire). There is no way to disarm an impact-based explosive (the pistols are, after all, powered by hitting a small explosive packet of whale oil, which results in a shaped explosion that pushes the bullet out of the gun).
