Gunmetals: Unique pistols that are made of brightly colored metals and plastics marketed almost as toys, they hold six rounded pellet like bullets or “shots” normally and have power equivalent to just above a high caliber be-be gun, gunmetal users use their gunmetals to hash out conflict
The four basic types of Gunmetals:
Blaster type: These guns are designed to get the most bang for your shots so to speak and actively push the shot forward with a unique style of hammer while the shot goes off and can double its power. Users of blaster types arrant the most accurate or precise by nature as the increased power makes this difficult but they make up for it by doing much more damage if and when they manage to hit. Users of this type don’t have to be particularly skilled to become proficient.
Sniper type: The exact opposite of the Blast type the accuracy based sniper type is fitted with longer, more riffled barrels to add to the accuracy and speed of the shots, do to the longer barrels the shots are not as powerful but much more likely to hit the target and slightly faster than normal shots. Users of this type have to improve their aim beyond ordinary gunners due to their types increased sensitivity to where its being aimed. Users of this type train and practice diligently.
Rapid fire type: Rather than focusing on the accuracy or power of individual shots the rapid fire type focuses on getting as many shots as possible out there. These guns load with cartridges rather than barrels like other types (holding 32 shots at a time rather than 6) and the users of this style focus on fast hands to fire and reload quickly their biggest challenge being striking a balance between reloading and firing. Rapid fire users also focus on precision rather than accuracy or careful aiming.
Slasher type: A rare and quite unique type that’s special feature has nothing to do with the shots at all, these are fitted with bayonet like blades that allow the user to attack directly and even block other shots. Users of the Slasher type have found a way to balance close quarters and ranged combat in a way no other type has but lack any real long range special ability. Users of this type train their bodies as well as their aim to strike a balance between ranged and melee offence as well as attack and defense with the blade at a ranged level.
Custom modifications: every gunmetal has a unique modification or special ability, this can be in the structure of the gun or as an accessory.

Signature shots: unique bullets used as "signature moves" these are unique to the user, below are a list of known signature shots, feel free to use any one of these or make your own with the template:
The four universal, mass produced signature shots (which you by no means have to use) are:
Name: The Buster shot (blaster type only)
Description: The densest highest caliber signature shot, a darker grey with a strip of brown around the middle, it is considered the ideal signature shot for blaster types. Capable of breaking strait though brick walls and other such barriers to blow opponents away or clear a path for other attacks.
Use: Used primarily to blast strait through the opponents cover the shot packs an overwhelming punch
Name: The Gale shot (Sniper type only)
Description: The lightest weight signature shot and there for the fastest, ideal for the sniper type the shot is a very light bluish chrome color with a white tip and two white strips one at the middle and one at the base, the entire shot has an elongated shape.
Use: The gale shot’s specialty is catching opponents off guard as its immense speed allows it to reach opponents who have shot first before their shots reach the user and is much more difficult to detect.
Name: The Scatter shot (Rapid fire type only)
Description: More like a shell the shot is designed to break away and release many smaller be-be like shots in mid air, ideal for rapid fire type users the shot is clear and filled with small yellow spheres. The smaller shots are not as powerful but hit a much wider surface area.
Use: Used to break the flow of a cycle of dodging and firing with a wide spread attack which is almost impossible to be totally avoided.
Name: The Nova shot (Slasher type only)
Description: A silver looking shot with a sun like design over the tip and a star on either side, both in white and barely visible. When fired the nova shot makes a large flash bang of intensely bright light and a loud bang. Ideal for Slasher types to use to close the distance.
Use: The nova shot is used to distract opponents and obscure the user so that they can get close enough to use their blades.

Gunner archetypes: The different styles and disciples of gunmetal users in he known world (again feel free to make your own)
Demolishers (Blaster type specialist): Demolishers use their Gunmetal’s power to break though resistance. There not the most accurate or quickest shots but they use their power to end battles quickly. Able to use the blaster type of gunmetal to its fullest demolishers specialize in destroying cover and ending fights with powerful attacks. Its is often said that Demolishers are strong willed, impatient people that fight with all they have.
Sharpshooters (Sniper type specialist): The sharpshooter doesn’t just rush in to a fight, they are very calculative, skilled marksmen who use their immense skill in aiming to take down opponent’s by hitting just the right mark. Possessing the aim required to master the sniper type sharp shooters also pride themselves on their quick draw but lack the power to end fights quickly and therefore cant afford to be to much in over their head. It is often said that Sharpshooters are cool headed, diligent people that know just how to handle most situations.
Quicksilvers (Rapid fire type specialist): Quicksilvers have one thing down cold, speed. Able to fire and reload four times as fast as the average gunmetal user the quicksilver takes advantage of the rapid fire power of his gunmetal to overwhelm more skilled opponents. They compensate for a lack of accuracy by placing many precise shots rather than just one accurate one to ensure the mark is hit. It is often said that Quicksilvers are sporadic, eccentric, free thinking individuals who get through adversity their own way.
Blade-dancers (Slasher type specialist): A rare type of Gunmetal user who specializes in melee combat as well as ranged, these are highly agile and skilled persons with a fair amount of physical training. Able to outperform most gunmetal users physically the blade-dancer is known for their unique melee style and swift, powerful movement. It is often said that blade dancers are reserved, dedicated people who rise to the occasion with ease.
Twin-gunners: Perhaps the rarest archetype Twin-gunners are gunners who have found some way to use two gunmetals effectively, this is almost never attempted as having both hands full makes reloading on the fly nearly impossible. Twin gunners are almost never seen as they have to overcome the reloading problem and balancing two types effectively.
Artisans: These types rarely own gunmetals of their own but excel at building, repairing, classifying and modifying them. They have a natural affinity for mechanics and are able to fully understand most gunmetals just by looking at them often collecting them in their spare time. It is often said that Artisans are incredibly curious and intelligent people with a lack of taste for battle, that the only reason they’d even allow a gun battle would be to test their handy work.
Daredevils: A daredevil has practiced the art of skilled maneuvering and has a knack for avoiding being hit. If anyone’s going to leap out from cover to shoot mid air and roll back safely its this type. They lack any real specialty other than skillful evasive movements and death defying leaps or stunts in the like. It is often said that Daredevils can manage to always act fearless even when their scared out of their minds.
Duelists: Gunmetal users that focus only on one on one fights with other gunmetal users. They specialize in taking down opponents though their strengths as well as their weaknesses and are a bit more robust in combat than any normal gunmetal user. They Specialize in quick draw techniques and have mastered the technique of aiming to disarm opponents. It is often said that duelists are highly determined, driven people.
