Following the devastation of the Great War, it became clear to the Imperial high command of the vast advantage that Altmeri battlemages had over traditional massed infantry, being able to easily destroy grouped units with their magic.

This spurred Emperor Titus Mede to pour his coffers into developing new technologies, something that would nullify the years of training and gold it would take to raise battlemages of his own.

The answer came from the archives of the Synod.

Old dwemer schematics which showed a rather simple design of a metal tube and a small iron ball, which when combined with fire salts and brought to flame, would launch the ball with a great amount of force.

This would allow a common man with little to no training to deal a heavy amount of damage from afar, despite the slow reload speed. He quickly realized how effective it would be to outfit vast amounts of soldiers with weapons of this type.

As such, the age of gunpowder had arrived and rifles became widespread.

Iron Handgun

Oldest design for a firearm, a simple metal tube fitted with a pan and match.

Steel Handgun

The most widespread and functional design for a rifle, the base upon which all others are built.

Imperial Handgun

The mighty Imperial handgun, an entire unit fitted with rifles can easily outmatch a Thalmor battlemage.

Stormcloak Handgun

The standard design in the Stormcloak army, a derivative of the Imperial design with a few added touches for flair.

Ulfric himself claims to be the originator of these design changes.

Dawnguard Handgun

Ideal for any Monster Hunter, it deals extra damage to the undead. The butt of the rifle functions well in close quarters.

Elven Handgun

A highly advanced rifle design, it's light weight and portability makes it easy to carry and equip large numbers of forces.
