Antiquity and You: Add the Antique Revolver, Iron Balls, and Black Powder.

This suggestion is to add three things. Though I have a feeling only 1/3 of it will be accepted, I may as well tack the others on because that's what inspired it all.

1. Antique Revolver - An old black powder gun. Though it's quite obviously a reproduction, as it isn't a heap of rust, it's still an antique.
It reloads with black powder and iron balls. 10 units of black powder, then an iron ball, then you have one shot. Naturally, you can do this individually by adding 60u and then adding six balls.
It will do a good amount of damage, but it has a low misfire chance and it'll have negative armor penetration, if that's possible. If not, very low.

2. Iron Balls - Five iron ingots makes three balls. That ought to balance it out as iron has little other uses.

3. Black Powder - The most likely to be accepted purely because it's still a chemical that can be used outside the gun, as an explosive. It'll explode rather powerfully, and do burn damage as well as brute. It could also be used as a firestarter if dumped out and something flammable is thrown or dropped onto it. 
It is made by mixing potassium (In place of potassium nitrate, as to not add two chemicals), carbon (as carbon alone is used for charcoal pills), and sulfur, with ethanol as a catalyst. It'll me mixed of 75% potassium, 15% Carbon, and 10% Sulfur, like actual gunpowder. Though you can probably change that.

 

Spoiler

Here is the sprite for the revolver:

What does this add to anything? Who is this supposed to be available to?

In all honestly, it'd be a gun for the coalition. Not in the coalition crate, just because it's not supposed to come with a gun, but maybe it'd be in events or available through the merchant. As for the gunpowder, it'd be more of just something to compete with the usual chembombs like potassium/water, but not quite be so complex as phoron salts.

Ditch the misfire chance and I'll be in agreement. Misfires and rng fail-chances are ass, especially in what's likely intended as a high quality reproduction.
