Versatile: Alternate World

The creation of guns might not be much but I find them fun in their own right whenever I use them. Maybe because the only way to see guns in action would be in games and in movies. Their lethality is something else and it looks really cool when you shoot and spin them in your finger after. Of course, that is just from me who only managed to hold a real gun for the first time in my life. Sure, there are guns in some shooting range but they mostly have shotguns there most of the time so I am not so thrilled about it.

I also find it a bit fun creating the parts though the materials are quickly running dry by just creating them. Luckily, I managed to remember the exact way to craft them to keep producing items of similar quality. Now, time to make the other parts and make sure they will be produced in the same quality. But since this is a different part of the gun, I would have to do another trial and error until I manage to pull the quality I needed to have on the item.

...

Thankfully, after getting the hang of creating a good timing on the hammering process and heating process, the metals came good as they should have been. Thankfully, the materials used most of the time for the items are aluminum and steel. I have plenty of ingots that I purchased last time I have gone shopping in the Insect Kingdom. Due to their abundant amount of aluminum and steel ores, I managed to procure a large amount of them without the need for me to mine them on caves and have low chances to pull them.

The second material was done and just like the first, it came out as Unique. As I was done making the second material, Queen Tanya entered the workshop alongside Tina.

"Woah, hard work as always, and from the looks of what you are making, it seems you are making a gun? This is looking weird though."

"Ah, I am indeed making a gun. Though I am making a gun that is capable of carrying multiple bullets and can reload at a much faster pace without the need for fast hands."

"Oh, are you modifying the gun design? Interesting. You never fail to surprise me Bladeheart," Queen Tanya nodded in satisfaction.

"So, did you guys already finish what you are discussing?"

"Yeah. We just did just now. I never expected you guys to meet up with some demons after trying to confront her parents. It looks like the demons have already sunken their teeth pretty deep in various places huh? It looks like we have to increase the vigilance in weird movements being conducted right under our noses or we would become the second Insect Kingdom and the Deep Sea Kingdom. It's unfortunate what happened in the Deep Sea Kingdom but it was good that you guys have prevented quite a large scale of the close call demon invasion. It usually needed a huge army to be deployed to prevent that kind of catastrophe from happening."

"We were just lucky enough that the demons were just beginning to mature before they could even do something much more large scale. It would have been a potential disaster if that happened."

"Yeah, good work out there. Since I requested you guys to go there to escort Tina but ended up tackling a much more dangerous and troublesome job, I will be giving you some rewards."

"Nah, no worries, your Majesty. It's not really something you should really be giving us a reward for. Since we are there for the purpose of escorting Tina, we only did something extra on the side, please no need to do so."

"You are too modest, Bladeheart but if you insist, I won't be bothering to give you something trivial so how about an exclusive skill? It might still be a reward but that is much more useful for you in battles compared to some stuff right? I can give you gold but I can assume you don't need it seeing you waste more materials so easily."

"Since you insist, then please go ahead. I will receive them."

"Just visit me in the throne room once you are ready to receive them. I can see that you are busy right now so I won't go further to disturb you on your work."

"Thank you."

After that, Queen Tanya went back with Tina. Looks like they understood I need some focus on my work so they didn't linger any further. Since the conversation is done, I went back to continue my own work.

...

CLACK!

"Phew!" I wipe off the sweat on my forehead.

On the table is the complete weapon that I just forged.

[???]

Type: Weapon Equipment

Rarity: Unique Tier

Equippable at Level 105

Equippable by: Gunslinger, Versatile

STR: +210

DEX: +150

Special skills

1. Rapid Gunfire: Unloads every single bullet loaded in the magazine of the gun to one target. Bullets will stop firing once the target dies before the magazine is emptied.

MP: 50

Cooldown: Instant

2. Enhanced Bullet Penetration: Increase the power of the fired bullet to penetrate shields, barriers, and armors. When imbued with this ability, there is a 50% chance to ignore shields and barriers and reduce 50% durability of the armor of the target. Only applies one bullet at a time and cannot be used together with [Rapid Gunfire].

MP: 100

Cooldown: 60 seconds

Info: A weapon created from Pure Aluminum and Steel by sacrificing countless failures. A gun that has a larger bullet capacity and slicker design than the normal gun. It also has a bit of a quieter bang compared to the other guns due to its design that suppresses a bit of its noise, perfect for using it on surprise operations. Due to how it can enhance the power of the bullet you can say that one shot into the head and you are dead.

Note: This is America, my boy! You know the rules and so do I.

Durability: 10, 000/10, 000

Damn, just by looking at the gun alone, I think I have overdone the creation of this thing, And I didn't expect quite good skills embedded on it after I finished the gun. I thought it would be some sort of power-enhancing attack only but a skill that can immediately deal with a rapid-fire attack and a skill that acts similar to sniper bullets. With a 50% chance to ignore bullets, isn't that something a sniper would really like to have?

The increase in STR and DEX by just equipping this thing is much better than wearing some specific armor to increase DEX. Who would have thought I would make such a monstrosity alone.

I already created a box of bullets with me and 10 magazines that contain 15 bullets in every piece which means I have 150 bullets ready.

Since I have the approval of Queen Tanya to use the arena for testing, I can use it for my target practice. I know this is working but I don't know how strong would it be compared to the revolver guns available in this world.

The arena is not occupied by anyone at the moment so I am free to do my testing without hurting anyone, after all, this gun has the ability to penetrate shields and barriers. If you think about it, that ability alone is pretty much a broken thing already.

After setting up the shooting range, I selected target dummies. I choose both the wooden and metal dummies as I will be testing their durability against a gunshot from the gun. Queen Tanya already mentioned that the dummies don't need to be replaced once broken since they automatically regenerate, saving me some time on this matter and I am not going to be worried if the dummies get broken in the process.

The first target is the wooden dummy.

Since I made it much easier in aiming, I didn't have a hard time with aiming for the right spot without missing.

BANG!

The moment the gunshot occurred, the wooden dummy is nowhere to be seen. No, it's not like it disappeared out of thin air, it was just broken to splinters after a single shot. Yeah, a single shot, I haven't used the [Rapid Gunfire] and [Enhanced Bullet Penetration].

I didn't expect it but is this some sort of broken skill? I am not sure what is happening but one thing is sure, this is just too broken. Too broken.

Quickly swallowing up the results, I went to the metal dummy instead of the wooden dummy. Seeing how brittle the wooden dummy was against the gun, I think I needed something harder than wood. Surely, this can at least handle quite a bit of power right?

BANG!

Before I can react, the metal dummy that was hard enough to break in normal circumstances like being shot by normal guns, just like the wooden dummy has been reduced to splinters and pieces of scrap metal. One bullet at a time.

"Sh*t, perhaps I have made something so overkill."
