Description

"God fights on the side with the best artillery." — Napoleon Bonaparte
Looking to immerse yourself in the Napoleonic Wars? You've come to the right place! Napoleon's Weaponry replaces the boring vanilla combat with authentic flintlock firearms, cannons and sabers from the French Empire and beyond.
Features
Vanilla-faithful 32x textures that blend seamlessly with the base game,
perfect for historical role-play and survival.

Realistic shooting mechanics that require extraordinary skills.

Dynamic Environment Interaction: Bullets don't just stop—they react. Glass shatters, pots break, and TNT ignites upon impact. Soft cover like leaves can be penetrated, though the bullet will lose speed and damage.
Realistic water physics: Projectiles encounter resistance in water,
drastically reducing their speed and damage upon entry.

Each weapon model has detailed lock mechanism.

Detailed cannons(for now only 1) with realistic mechanics.

Crafting
I highly recommend using JEI (Just Enough Items) to view all the recipes, but here are a few of the most basic ones:
Charleville 1777

The workhorse of Napoleon's army
Durability: 250
Paper Cartridge (.69 Caliber)

A standard cartridge is a bullet wrapped in paper with a pinch of gunpowder.
Musket Ball

Ordinary lead bullet
Controls
In fact, everything is simple - to load a weapon, you need to have a Paper Cartridge in your inventory (of the desired caliber, of course), and start holding the RMB until the weapon icon lights up white. After that, pressing the RMB again is a shot. For a rifle, it's almost the same, but when you load it, you can aim with the RMB, and shooting is done with the LMB.(you can also shoot without aiming, but the accuracy will be much worse)
