Blackpowder Weapons for the Rich and Foolhardy
Expensive, exotic, and very loud, these strange weapons could hail from a number of infernal planes. Most are characterized by these traits: Presence DR14 to hit. Ignores armor. Most fire once then need reloading (d6+2 rounds unless stated). You cannot reload with an enemy within melee range. LOUD. Lesser creatures might roll Morale when a shot is fired. Anything more intelligent will notice and investigate.
If you can buy them, so can everyone else.

Gaps / Expansion Notes
The "infernal planes" the weapons hail from are unnamed. Whether a Sacrilegious Songbird's deal-with-the-devil included one of these is a thematic open seed. The Basilisk Gun's name suggests basilisk-shot ammunition is itself heretical.
