@Rigwyn: I can understand how one could be particularly hostile towards the idea. Especially because they may be afraid PS would turn into a first-person-shooter. But these aren't repeating firearms.
They would add immersion due to them adding more role-play. Plus the current path that yliakum is taking would have it making an absolute ton of sense. Engineers use mechanical items frequently in quests, and this could be another contraption; I'd say it would be a should.
Of course, one could assume that one would have an idea for a revolver, but the current technology of Yliakum points to primitive firearms. Considering the winch with it's assortment of horrors, there could even be cannons for such cases.
Now, one could easily say "Yliakum -hasn't- developed like this.
But it has. We should look at the winch, which everyone seems to know about. In addition to other mechanical devices. Plus the cases of explosions in-game? It would not only make sense for the world, it would, as I've said before, add immersion.
