- Name: Patchwork Pounders

- Wielder: O'Sheen Thatch

- Maker/Smith: O'Sheen Thatch

- Classification: Dust Projection Flintlock Pistols

- Weapon Derivation: Flintlock pistol, sawed-off shotgun

- Form 1 Design: A set of four simple flintlock-style pistols, they are break-action and can each hold one shell

- Form 1 Aesthetics: Typical Flintlock-style pistols, though the design is uniform they are all assembled from mismatched parts in different colors and attached to grips cut from driftwood

- Dust Usage: multi-use shells (of the same variety as used in Myrtenaster), each gun is loaded with a different element; name Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Gravity

- Usage: Patchwork Pounders are designed for short to mid ranged combat, harrying opponents with debilitating elemental strikes rather than relying on pure damage. They work best at a range of 20-30 feet where the Dust shot can spread out without dispersing too much to be useful allowing O'Sheen to hit multiple enemies at once, or cover a greater portion of a single large enemy in one attack. At point-blank range, they are devastatingly powerful but prone to splashback which can harm the user. Ranges beyond 30 feet begin to suffer a exponential dropoff in power as the blast becomes too far spread to be effective.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: Add more guns, devise method of counteracting point blank splashback

- Notes: The name, Patchwork Pounders, is a reference to 16 pounder guns, as well as the fact that the weapons were -quite literally- assembled from scrap metal, driftwood, and parts salvaged from other, broken weapons.
