The FowlGunne is one of the Gunne types not mentioned in the rules, 
and does not see a lot of military use. It has Average range, and does 
up to four Advantages worth of damage. It takes three Advantages 
worth of effort to reload a FowlGunne, split over any number of 
Challenge rounds, after which it can be fired. For instance, an 
average person with Gunnes Ability would have a base of one 
Advantage, plus one for their Ability, so they would use two 
Advantages on two Challenge rounds for a total of four, and on the 
next round they could fire the FowlGunne again.

A FowlGunne does a larger number of small attacks. The maximum 
Advantages a FowlGunne can use for damage purposes is four, or the 
number of successes in the first part of the ranged Challenge, 
whichever is lower. For instance, a marginal hit does only one 
Advantage worth of damage to a target. This may be fine against 
unarmored waterfowl, but virtually useless against armored 
soldiers. On the other hand, higher levels of succees can inflict 
serious injury, though not as much as a LongGunne. The multiple 
pellets that a FowlGunne fires give the user one extra Advantage to 
hit at anything except really close range. A FowlGunne may fire a 
single larger slug, which provides no bonus to hit, but which does 
four Advantages worth of damage if it does.

A FowlGunne is two Light weight and Average cost. A pack of three 
shells is Inconsequential weight and Marginal cost. A fine FowlGunne 
can be had for the same cost as a fine LongGunne, and has similar 
game effects.
