Controlled Exothermic Reactions Propelling the lead ball forward at an extreme velocity in order to achieve ultimate head shot pwn-ness.
Basicaly... guns. I believe it was Nairagorn who said in the "New weapons you would want" (somethin like that) thread, that guns WERE used at the time the plate armor was at it's peak. Basically, we could have some long rifles.. well, they wouldn't be rifles cause back then they didn't have rifled barrels... anyways. These... Firearms, I guess, would be innaccurate, but would do devestating damage, much more than the crossbow. They would also require 3 equipment slots. You would need your powder, your shot, and your gun. This leaves only one slot, for a melee weapon preferably. They would be extremely expensive, as well. The worst one, with perhaps 60 pierce damage, would cost 10k. The best one, doing around 80 pierce damage (guns are powerful, you know) would cost about 50k. Expensive, but you have an extremely long reload time and really low accuracy. The only good thing is the power of the weapon. One shot to the chest would probably kill most enemies. If the enemy was charging at you, you could get off one shot, two, maybe three if you're on a hilltop. But before you could reload again you would need to pull out that trusty Sword O' War and get to swingin. There could even be a new level for your units. Seargents would upgrade to Gunnery Seargent (Hartman!), vaegier and swadian marksmen would upgrade to riflemen, and Knights would upgrade in to Crusaders or something, since melee weapons were still widely used when guns were first made. (Time period for Crusaders is probably way off for this game, but I wouldn't know.)
Anyways... there could also be 1 handed guns, that have a lower reload time, but also lower damage. The better the gun, the bigger the caliber, the more powder needed to propell the ball, meaning.. basicaly.. longer reload times. Best gun would be the slowest firing weapon in the game, while the weakest pistol would be the fastest gun.
Nairagorn seems to think guns were used when plates were still around, and seeing as how this is a game, and not a "European Knight Simulation," we could have guns and keep it realistic.
Don't flame me for this. I'll even add a poll. It will probably be 99% no, but I don't care.
