What about level non-magical items? What kinds of high level melee weapons, armor, and other gadgets (artillery, howdahs, coaches, clockwork gizmos, spy devices, etc.) are there?
How many new types alchemical devices are there? What are some particularly cool ones?
Will there ever be a bastard sword with a point that can do piercing damage? If not, how is it that smiths are unable to put a point on a great sword, but not a bastard sword? What does this say about the crafting abilities of the smiths of Golarion?
Is the default 1st level gun a matchlock, a wheellock, or what? What are the higher level guns like? What is a particularly cool high level gun?
Will guns and gear include the errata for alchemists (because they have some pretty significant changes in the errata)?
I almost forgot to ask this - Did the Inventor retain the martial class framework or is it now more of a support class like the Alchemist?

Here's hoping we never see another martial without martial proficiency and without a martial main stat. The playtest inventor seemed just right as far its ability to smack things
Can I make an inventor with a one-of-a-kind self-reloading repeating awesome crossbow yet?
I worked really hard during the playtest to make this work and sadly it did not.
KickbackHe he, kickback.
Hmmm... I want kickbacks! I'm always in the market for free money. ;)

For anyone who hasn't seen it, The-Magic-Sword did a great summary of the Ask the Experts panel where we gave a lot of info on Guns & Gears. Thread here.

Personally I would love to know how Gunblades work. I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan, and I've got machinations (hah) to pitch a Gunblade wielding Magus to my DM when SoM comes out and I'd like to be able to do so without homebrewing, or at least as little as possible.
You might also be interested in this little tidbit from the link Michael provided just above (and thanks again to TMS) :
[7:35 PM]"What kind of support for magical gunslingers?" There were two new Gunslinger ways... one is vanguard, the other is part of the answer for magical gunslingers, its called the "Spellshot"

Gunslinger got two new ways, including the way of the vanguard, tanky gunslinger with big scatter weapons to fight on the front lines. People wanted a heavy gunner that specializes in shotguns, so here it is.
Oh this is me. The developers are talking about me and did the thing I asked for

Can Snipers use bows now?
There's a tanky shotgun wielding type of gunslinger? Does that mean we have Doomguy now? And what is this "spellshot" thing, for it sounds most interesting!

I'm hoping it's something like what we have in Outlaw Star!

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but so excited for inventor. Even more so after the news about how unstable works and integrated weapons.

From what it looks like was shared on Discord that's a no, but GM/PC could adjust the rules for bows.
