Guns. Every world has them.
Within the world of Cerise, we hold ourselves to see that two common types of firearms are used. These two common types are Springloaded Revolvers, and Gas-powered Pressure Rifles. They both work in a similar manner in that they require pressure and force to propel the ammunition toward the target, but each has its own unique mechanic.
Within the springloaded mechanic, we see that the firearms are loaded within the barrel. The barrel is filled with a strong spring covered by a piston that applies pressure to the ammunition when firing. The piston is locked in place, with the spring fully pulled back to maximize the pressure and force the spring will release when the piston is released. When the trigger is pulled, the piston is released and the spring releases all of its energy shooting the piston forward. The air within the compartment behind the bullet, or the chamber, will then flood outward and force the bullet out of the barrel and propel it outward toward the target.

Unfortunately, the mechanic for the Gas-powered rifle is a little more complex. There also are no images to help ease the complexity of the mechanism. So, you'll just have to read.
Much like the spring-loaded mechanism, the Gas-powered mechanism has a barrel and a piston. However, unlike a spring-loaded mechanism, the Gas-powered mechanism is without a spring and no locking mechanism. Instead, the Gas-powered rifle relies on two things that need to be reloaded in each time a character must reload their ammunition. One, the bullets and rounds, and the second is a set of 'caps' that separate the first and second chambers. Within the second chamber of the rifle is the piston and the bullet. The two will work together as the piston punches the bullet forward and down through the barrel. However, the first chamber is empty and will have a cap separating it from the second chamber. When the trigger is pulled, the gas from the rifle's replaceable tank will fill the first chamber until the pressure is so great that the cap bursts. When the cap bursts, the gas is released in an explosive manner and the piston is pushed outward which in turn presses the bullet outward. This whole mechanic takes nearly a full second to run through so the firing rate is rather slow for these weapons. Gas-powered rifles also require time to reload the ammunition and replace the cap. And if the gas-tank is empty, that also must be dealt with. Because of this, the Gas-powered rifle is less convenient than Spring-loaded rifles. However, they tend to be more accurate and are much more effective killing weapons. The problem is the delay time for each shot and the time needed to reload is too great for most people to use them conveniently. As a way of dealing with this problem, most gas-powered rifles are used once in a battle and then tossed aside in preference for Spring-loaded guns.
