The Quadhammer Blunderbuss is a marvel of Dwarven engineering, meticulously crafted to serve as a versatile and reliable tool for tunnel clearing. Designed to endure the harshest underground conditions, it combines the formidable firepower of a quadbarreled blunderbuss with a bayonet attachment for close-quarters defense.
With its superior construction and minimal maintenance requirements, the Quadhammer Blunderbuss is expected to last for over 200 years in full service.
The stock of the Quadhammer is composed of fossilized wood, renowned for its durability and resistance to decay in underground environments. The mechanisms are crafted from an Aurasteel alloy, which creates a lightweight but durable base on which Runes can be crafted and maintained.
The weapon itself has an overall length of approximately 81 centimeters, making it compact and manoeuvrable in tight tunnel spaces. It weighs roughly 8.2 kilograms, ensuring it can be carried by a skilled Dwarf operator single handed with ease.
The Quadhammer can deliver a devastating payload of shots up to a range of 20 meters, making it an ideal choice for tunnel clearing and close-quarters combat. It can fire at a rate of approximately 12 to 18 shots a minute.
Manufacturing a Quadhammer takes around 5 to 10 years, ensuring precision craftsmanship and quality control. No two Quadhammers are identical, as each Dwarven Smith will add their own embellishments and tweaks for their own personalised usage.
The Quadhammer Blunderbuss was initially developed by the Union of Great Holds in order to clear tunnels quickly and efficiently.
