Give me 5 good reasons why volleyguns aren't in your setting

Humans all died in the mid-2100s and the robots have bigger shit to worry about. Like bigger robots.

The other four are mostly related to the first reason.

They are... in a way.

>>53969108
because my setting thinks that fire and pointy sticks are the coolest shit ever

Someone proposed using round woods and stones to transport things, but people are afraid of this new technology called " wheel "

You own the Warhammer 40k IP?

Too primitive for one setting, no gundpowder in the second one but absolutely perfect to mount on a Biplane. Let's go, Hans! We will show zees savages ze meaning of Zivilisation!

>>53969108
Because the closest equivalent to guns is single-shot flamethrowers stolen from Exalted, and there's not much difference between a lot of small barrels shooting at once and one big barrel to make the former worth its increased complexity. And the people that have these things are already cutting edge by having matchlocks in the bronze age so I don't feel the need to give them something fancier.

They are if you count museums.

Because a cannon with grapeshot is better in every way

>faster for a crew to reload one big barrel than 20 small ones
>much longer range
>can fire solid shot and explosive shells depending on need

1 - They sucked.
2 - Because they sucked, they weren't adopted.
3 - They weren't adopted because people weren't stupid enough to keep using something that sucked.
4 - The people in my setting are at least as smart as people historically.
5 - The people in my setting won't adopt them for the same reasons they weren't adopted historically.

How's that, OP?

Because belt-feeds are a thing.

1. They're totally gay.
2. My setting doesn't have gunpowder.
3. Lasers don't work in a volley gun.
4. The wheel hasn''t been invented.
5. There are no projectile weapons in the setting.

>>53969108
They are. But bullets are also stopped by the grit and shields of men.

No, no, that does not follow at all. A gravity feed is quite different.

You don't need wheels to make a laser, stupid.
