I think if Sea of Thieves added a musket it would greatly improve the game. The musket would be like a sniper but deal 55-65 damage and have the iron sights of a pistol. I think this would help new players PvP better, because they don’t have to zoom in with a sniper but can still do a lot of damage to enemies.
New gun idea

Generally speaking, I wouldn't mind. Why not. I generally don't mind variety and options.
Gotta ask though in which scenario could this actually be useful? In shorter range, pistols still might be better if faster reload (as the smallest gun in the game it should have the fastest reload). In very short range, blunder/sword would be better. In long rage, sniper would be better in terms of both precision and damage.
(sorry, double-barrel, you're just not there yet)
I just fail to see in which niche situation I'd pick this over any other current game combos. So please feel free to elaborate more on it.
@r3vanns it would be most useful in medium to short range and good for hiding on islands because it doesn’t give a glare.
Ah, so as a camper's weapon. Good point on the glare.
Yea, hell, in that case it wouldn't be any worse than double barrel. Why not! Guerilla style, darts and muskets. Good for roleplaying and messing with people.
Yea, might be good for crews who have good shooters, but not so eager to board often. Could shake things up.
@r3vanns It would be good for ship combat because they wouldn’t see the glare and then they would get shot for most of there health.
