Heavy guns are now stored in the backpack slots. To place blocks that are in the backpack slots, use CTRL + Mouse wheel to equip them

The limbering mechanic will be back once the 1.20 is released. Until then, it will be disabled

• 4-pounder support gun: A medium velocity muzzle-loading gun that can be picked up and shoots 4-pounder and grape shots
• 12-pounder field gun: A medium high velocity direct fire muzzle-loading gun that can shoot 12-pounder, grape and canister shots
• 12-pounder howitzer: A medium medium velocity indirect fire muzzle-loading gun that can shoot 12-pounder, grape and canister shots
• 120mm field gun: A medium high velocity direct fire muzzle-loading gun that can shoot shells
• 120mm howitzer: A medium medium velocity indirect fire muzzle-loading gun that can shoot shells
• 120mm breech loading field gun: An ancient heavy high velocity direct fire breech-loading gun that shoots shells with reusable casing
• 120mm breech loading howitzer: An ancient heavy medium velocity indirect fire breech-loading gun that shoots shells with reusable casing
• Machine gun: An ancient heavy gun that fires cartridges with reusable casings
• 4-pounder and 12-pounder shots (gunstone, cannonball, bomb, carcass, grape shot and canister shot)
• 120mm shells (warhead, high explosive shell, anti-personnel shell, gas shell, incendiary shell, fragmentation warhead, high explosive fragmentation warhead, shrapnel shell, fragmentation gas shell, fragmentation incendiary shell)
• Landmines (regular, incendiary): A device that blows up when walking over it. Landmines can be buried and may require multiple steps done carefully to be disabled.
• Hand grenades (regular, anti-personnel, gas, incendiary)
• Bagged charges: A linen sack filled with explosive powder used to fire muzzle loading artillery pieces
• Gas and gasmask: Gas is especially effective in tight places but will still force other entities to wear a gasmask and to keep enough charcoal to supply the filter of their mask.
  
• Projectile stability: The more explosive a projectile contains and the faster it goes, the more likely it is to explode before impact. Rifled gun allow to shoot projectiles at higher velocity while reducing the risk of making the projectile explode.
• Ramrod: A rod used to clean and load heavy guns.
• Primer: A device used to fire heavy guns
• Wastelands: Sustained artillery fired makes soil barren
  
• 360° gun placement and precise firing angle selection with wrench.
• Step by step gun loading
• Ruined part and technological progression
• Immersive sounds, particles and screenshake effects
• Optional compatibility:
  • Maltiez Firearms:
    • replaces some recipes that contain blastingpowder with gunpowder
    • allows to craft anti-personnel weapons with bullets instead of metal bits
    • allows to craft cartridges
    • allows to buy ruined machinegun barrels from treasure hunters in order to repair it
  • ChemistryLib:
    • allows to craft gasmasks and gas weapons
    • allows to craft incendiary weapons
