In conflicts with humans and dwarfs many looted muskets have ended up in the hands of the Under-Empire among the ranks of the common clanrats. While such guns lacked the long range punch of Jezzails firing warpstone bullets using alchemically enhanced powder they could prove useful in numbers. As such, after repeated requests were made and as some ham handed attempts at gunsmithing were made by small time clans eventually Clan Skryer gave into the demand and began producing a line of single rat-guns.





For the price of a common Skaven Slave one could get a common warplock. Made by huge machines and teams of slaves working on large assembly lines, the resulting firearms were basic in design but effective. A single slug of Warpstone was used to ignite the powder charge with a flash of green lightning upon striking the pan. While their barrels were short and unrifled, they could launch a lead slug or a handful of pebbles with considerable force. Formations of Clanrat musketeers could be devestating, so long as they are limited to making use of regular black powder. Occasionally a clanrat would pinch some warpstone enhanced powder and use it in his gun. The result of said action would appeal to the Skaven's sense of humor, though the messy disruption of ranks in battle is one that most warlords would rather not happen.
