i know this has probably been mentioned many times, so sorry for that. anyways, i think it would be epic if there was a musket in the game? maybey it could be like a long ranged pistol, doing 50-60 damage. another cool thing would be a throwing knife, a one shot if hit, but after thrown would have to be retrieved?
new weapon?
I've always wanted old clunky and less accurate guns but they wouldn't appeal as much to the casual/skilled shooter fans of the game
currently it feels like we use rich people paintball guns in the pirate game and I don't much enjoy the feel
a true old school sniper rifle would be fun with a lot more range and less of what it is now

If you want to generate a stronger discussion around this idea, you're going to need to flesh it out a bit more.
The current weapons in the game are all strong and weak in different areas. The sword and blunderbuss rule close range, but can't do much further out. The eye-of-reach is a terror at long range and in the water, but has a long reload and is unwieldy up close. The pistol has the shortest reload and accurate hipfire, but its bullet travels more slowly and deals less damage than the other guns.
What purpose does your weapon serve that makes it a viable alternative to the pistol or eye-of-reach? In what situations is it better (and worse) than those weapons?

Rare is going to have to balance the current weapons and make some more headway with hit registration before even considering adding new weapons.
I watch a lot of Twitch streams. Everybody that loses a fight crys hit reg. Apparently the aimbot skeletons have zero issues gunning me down long range with a flintlock 😂 I can hit a target @ 100 yards estimated with a flintlock. There were no scope weapons in black powder days. How about only having flintlock and muzzle loaders?
