While like pentrating force or technological differences in terms of various cartridge types, percussion pistols (specifically dueling pistols) could be as leathal as a .45 ACP (M1911 Colt's, a semi automatic pistol fires these). Coupling the fact that it's just sheer compact trauma from a lead ball, getting shot is no joke, nt even something you would find easy to deflect or block with a sword/weapon as... ludicrous as the concept would be in general.
Apparently guns in eorzea shoot projectiles with less energy than subsonic .22 shorts and the armor / aether that /everyone/ uses all the time deflects them with ease.
Makes me think theres no point in carrying a gun then.
