Nevertheless, they are just as ineffective as the Paradis Island's flintlocks when used against Titans, which require the use of specialized artillery such as anti-Titan artillery to defeat it.
Advanced small-arms such as revolvers, sub-machine guns, bolt action rifles and water-cooled machine guns are widely used in those armies. Outside Paradis Island, nations such as Marley and the Mid-East Allied Forces possess more modern firearm technology. Young Reiner holding a Marleyan bolt action rifle
īy the time Eren Yeager infiltrates Marley, the Survey Corps has incorporated semiautomatic pistols and bolt action rifles into their own version of the anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment. Also, their penetrating power is somewhat limited, as Levi was able to block a volley of shots fired at him by using the corpse of a member of the Military Police's Anti-Personnel Control Squad. Despite the power of these firearms, the shots can be deflected with the ultrahard steel of the standard vertical equipment's sword.
Īlthough it is technically not a weapon, the hook can be used as a ranged weapon in an emergency situation because the hook is located in the user's hands, which makes it very easy to aim. The shotguns are reloaded in a manner similar to signal flares the wielders throwing away the barrels and replacing them with new ones which are stored on bandoliers worn over the wielder's thighs. Two of these shotguns can be used at the same time. This variant has the appearance of a short, single-barreled shotgun that fires a single shell that is powerful enough to blow off a person's face entirely. The Anti-Personnel Control Squad's specialized anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment is the first to incorporate firearms with vertical maneuvering equipment. VariantsĪnti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment. However, they can shoot out a Titan's eyes and blind it until it regenerates them. Also, given a Titan's fast regeneration rate and the long amount of time it takes to reload a flintlock weapon (15–30 seconds as they require pouring powder down the barrel and pushing the bullet down with a rod), they are practically useless in dealing enough lasting damage to effectively harm a Titan. įirearms are unable to kill Titans because they lack the power to penetrate through the nape of the neck, the Titan's weak spot. During the battle of Trost, one of the most notable features of the firearm is the lack of smoke it produces which creates a large flash, compared to black-gunpowder which produces a massive cloud of smoke when fired. Before the reign of Historia Reiss, muskets, pistols, buckshot rifles, hand cannons, and flintlock sniper rifles were the only known firearms to exist for military use. Firearms used by the military are initially based on the flintlock mechanism, where a piece of flint ignites the powder and fires the gun, which must be reloaded after every shot.
