Problem with this is... every time we see a gun used in Eorzea, it's being rapid fired without reloading. So unless lore comes out with the Machinist establishing exactly how a single or two-shot rifle with no magazine is firing 6-8 shots before being emptied (inconveniently to plot) we're going to see roleplayers doing the same.

(Just watch all of this. First two minutes are just filled with muskets going off like modern day pistols.)
