gun safety really wasn't a big thing until like, the twentieth century and even then only in military training not necessarily the makers. If you look at photos of pretty much any gun maker they have their finger on the trigger, Sam Colt, John Browning, Kalashnikov.

Percy is an edgy character done right. He's the orphaned son of murdered nobles who invented firearms just to get his revenge who's literally possessed by a spirit of vengeance, wears a plague doctor mask, and named his gun "The List", with it having the names of his targets etched onto its barrel. And it's because of deep trauma and his refusal to talk about it with anyone that results in him going as far as he goes, and only once he lets others help him does he turn things around.

It helps that he has more to his character than pure edginess. He has moments were he laughs and has fun but those moments in many ways only serve to enhance the tragedy when he finally opens up about just how full of bloodlust and hatred he is. That's an element a lot of people who try to write "edgy" characters forget all too often: you need to allow them to be human first to make them a truly compelling character

Well, pepperbox pistols are very real, the were just replaced relatively quickly by more modern type firearms. They were a pit tough to repair, and load. And like all cap and ball weapons, there was the risk of chain firing, though now that I’m halfway through this sentence, I realize that wouldn’t be a huge danger since there’s nothing in front for the bullets to hit.

okay to put it into perspective, you don't know when your next meal is, you may not be able to eat for the next five days or even longer, way beyond the time period where starvation and the start of malnutrition is beginning, if you had a single piece of bread and you have no idea how long it's been since your last meal, wouldn't you just eat every bite possible, even if there's mould on it? That's why Percy ate it and didn't care about the mould at all, he needed to eat, and he was going to eat.

The man had lost everything. His home, his title, and most importantly, his family. He fled, while those criminals still lived. He was alone in the dark, and the cold. But he still had his dreams, dreams that were born from nightmares of the past. A demon came to him, and they wished to help him. Night by night, the creature gave him a piece of something that could help him. That something was a weapon. But not any weapon, a mechanized contraption that could fire blazing metal with the push of a trigger. It was precise, simple, and deadly. The perfect tool for vengeance. But while it may have been his weapon, it was the demon's utensil.
