Is there a reason I'm missing for past classes like bard, ranger, and thief having the skill shoot? If I'm not mistaken, guns are a future thing. Why would past classes be trained to shoot guns? I hear archery is the same as shoot now, but wouldn't it be better if the skill itself was called archery? Also, bards get this skill at lvl 1 and mercs get it at lvl 3, when mercs are supposed to be the gun-toting maniacs of the mud.

strange mysteries we have on our hands watson. you're absolutely correct! It's elementary! I need sleep! falls over

I do believe the Remmington Streetsweeper was found in Skullport, which is indeed a past zone, and it was indeed a weapon accessable by the past classes.

Justification for the win.

And i do believe that the remmington streetsweeper loaded on the gate guard in fassan. which is a future zone. pwned. :)
