                       An entire corps of rifleman is not using three
musktets. Percy had to have built more. And it’s mechanically true that
Percy’s guns are superior. Bad News deals 2d12 damage and the closest
Ripley could get was 2d10.                   

Building a gun takes half a year. Percy gave us a laundry list of what he did over the break, guns were not included. He hasn’t built a single gun since Bad News, just maybe imporved a little upon Ripley’s guns. And there were so many of those that Scanlan taking one wasn’t immediately obvious.

And if anything, the fact that there is a tiny corps of riflemen now furthermore countrs towards the fact that the guns aren’t even a secret anymore. What point are you trying to make here? Is it wrong that the guns exist? Yes, Percy thinks so, too. Hence why he wanted to keep it to himself and only started arming his own people after Ripley had already gone and sold the schematics to the world and only for defense in case of dragon-induced apokalypse. Is it wrong that he tried to keep the gun thing a secret or contained? Well, Ioun is certainly not one to make dangerous knowledge freely accessible to the world, so judging Percy for doing the same is hypocritical.
