The more I read about early firearms, the more it seems like a *lot* of fantasy worlds could easily say "We don't have good enough steel for pistols, but fire lances are all over the damn place".

It's also a great weapon for OSR-type dungeon shenanigans; get it set and pointed and it's awesome; fail to, and it's a heavy, overlong lump.
