An archetype all about shotguns and siege weapons.

Except it can't full attack with a shotgun unless it takes another archetype that loses proficiency with siege weapons (and won't let you start with a blunderbuss).

That seems like a janky design choice.

I guess you're good if you don't mind starting with a blunderbuss and then immediately dumping it for a dragon pistol before 6 and never using an advanced firearm (or any other firearm period really).

STILL seems like a janky design decision though.

It's a shame too. Pretty cool archetype, even if it does lose two bonus feats and a nice feature for some niche stuff.

Good news! A recent FAQ lets you full attack with shotgun! Just pick up rapid reload and you're reloading as a free action.

Blunderbuss still sucks though. I'd just stick with a dragon pistol for the early game.
