Wouldn't have happened if they had Mausers

Okay that makes me feel better. "Am I just being dumb and can't think of animals and historical cultures I haven't used cause I am an idiot? Nope turns out I really have used em all!"
Also, you can tell I made up Nymus early on. Cool as their priest thing is...it did use up an extra 14 types of bird. Probably not an option I would go for again!

Other than the fact that firearms is not going to be enough to beat the 14 Evils, let alone the KITW, if you gave any faction modern guns, they would probably be harder to deal with!

So you're saying you couldn't kill The Speaker by putting a bullet through his head from 400ft away? Outside of shouting distance presumably.

Fine. They would've been a greater inconvenience to the KitW than normal.
@canouvea; an 8mm will penetrate an inch of steel at 100yds (just shy of 400'), so it'd do some damage to be sure.

The thing is, The Speaker would get a load of other people with guns to do is dirty work.

Sure, a good point. And loudspeakers would help him out.
But what about the Peacekeeper? You can see him coming a ways away. Shoot him in the head!

The Peacekeeper is invincible. Seemingly invincible at least, I'm sure someone's going to defeat him somehow at some point.

He's a tough cookie. The 14 Evils tend to be powerful to an extent that conventional force is not very effective. I mean their powers vary wildly so what works for one wont work on another but as a general rule, the solution of "just give our guys stronger weapons" often wont be enough.

I remember we were talking about how to kill the Peacekeeper a while back. Shooting him in the head with a high powered rifle was the best option really. From a ways away at best. By surprise if possible.
Thing is, if he's really so on fire, depending on how hot he is, it is totally possible he'd just kinda... melt the bullet before it hit.

Maybe if you could get him in the eye slits on his armour? But between the small target, the fact hes probably going to be moving and the bullets being distorted by super heat, it seems pretty unlikely.

You could try using a tungsten projectile, that has a melting point of 3400C compared to 330C for lead and 1200C for cupronickel (what most jacketing material is made from), it also has density comparable to depleted uranium, which is why it's often used for armour-piercing munitions.
If anyone could make a weapon that could wreck The Peacekeeper, I think it'd actually be the Gotetra, not the Golta; they use technology and lightning magic, they could make a railgun! Right now the US Navy is testing a gun that fires a 23lb solid tungsten spike at Mach 7 out to 220miles, it drives through steel plates like nothing, and the kinetic energy is so great that it hits with the energy of 10lbs of explosives (remember, it's solid tungsten, no actual explosives involved).
That arsehole could be cooling his heels 2 miles from the Gloriously Horsey Gunners, and as long as he didn't go too far in the 3 seconds after they pull the trigger he'll get blown clean in half!
