besides which, as a gun is essentially an upgrrade to a spear ................Okay, I'll say this in the nicest way I can say it:

This is not stupid. This is significantly, factually, stupid. The kind of things so stupid, it's best not to say it.

Guns have, since their very very beginnings, been completely separate from spears. They are not even apples and oranges, they are like apples and cattle. Absolutely different in every single way, without any single relation between them at all.

What they are an esential upgrade to, are bows and crossbows. You know, the actual ranged weapons, the latter of which is far more like a gun than any spear ever made has ever been?

The closest thing between Guns and Spears, are bayonets on rifles. And even then that's an add-on, not the gun itself, and still very different in usage and design beyond "spike". And still not an upgrade to a spear.

Please refrain from saying things like that.

@Terminus: If it was in V1, I'll dismiss it. Like you're aware, many things have changed, and even if "Cardin gets developed" was still part of the plans, they certainly have not made any effort to go through with it.
