If you want a very similar damage model, capacity, and still workable range / accuracy, check the testing pack. The Stovepipe is straight up near identical, just slightly worse in every way.

Because to my memory the Dreyse carbine is literally based on a pistol, a pistol could also come to the game, but it's far more likely I'd give it the historical capacity of "lmao not 18"

Is it bad that I wish there was a pistol version of this?

In the wise words of Dr Ludwig,
I HAVE NO IDEA!
For real though, probably semi auto rifle again. Then more SMGs and semis, avoiding bolts and LMGs for now I think. Maybe an automatic rifle like BAR? I'm trying to go for universal, fun, easy to model and animate, and easy to use weapons for now.

whats next?

Very funky to see a pistol calibre carbine with a rifle stock. Super cool project!
