I'd love to fire magically enhanced rounds.

Speak more clearly, I would like to see in GD weapons similar to those of Arcanum (In appareance).

From what I understand (and I am far from an expert) there will be the ability to craft items using various common through rare materials gathered from breaking things down or as drops. I do not recall reading about specific formulas but I might have missed that. At this point there is just not been a pile of info of crafting over all.
As for appearance of the weapons I suspect that they will have a strong Victorian era flare with a bit of customization on the part of Crate, ie I don't remember too many tribarrel rifles in that era and we have seen some in the screen shots.
As for Magic vs Tech I enjoyed that part for Arcanum but it is not any part of Grim Dawn that I know about.

Mmm guns. Looks very nice guys, good work!

o.0 I want to be a gun-toting mage!

Someone mentioned Arcanum again now I am off to reinstall it and play it again.

Medierra, can you show us some new fireweapons pics?

Here other insteresting victorian fireweapons:

Le Mat, 19 century, Revolver with nine bullets.


The Derringer 1860, the favourite of the Ladys.


Revolver Rifle 1858

OOOh!!!

Look this precious one-hand "rifle":

Winchester 1892 Mare's Leg - .44-40

[Steerpike]

I'm probably stating the obvious here, but isn't this a case of looks over utility? The Winchester 1892 Mare's Leg might look good to our gamer eyes (hey, a rifle that can be used in one hand. Hold on, can't I dual wield that?), but as they've shortened the barrel to make it one handed they've sacrificed both range and accuracy. There's a reason a lot of these things didn't catch on (including the revolver rifle)...

That Mare's leg must have kicked like a SOB.
If we can have as many types of weapons as possible regardless of how realistically practical they are it will make for a better game. You can never have too much loot.
