You gain proficiency with Gunsmith's Tools, and you can create Renaissance era firearms as an Infused item. These weapons are not valid targets for your normal infusions. Instead, you gain access to special infusions that can only be applied to firearms. Each firearm you create can have a single infusion. Some of these infusions require the weapon to have a certain property. Only you can benefit from these infusions.

Firearms you create gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. At level 10, this bonus increases to +2, and to +3 at level 17.

Bayonet (barrel): You can also use the weapon as a simple melee weapon with the Finesse property that deals 3 (1d6) piercing damage on a hit.

Bipod (barrel, req. Two-handed): If you are prone while taking the shot, you do not incur disadvantage when firing at long range.

Short Barrel (barrel): Halves the weapon's long range, but you do not incur disadvantage if you fire within melee range.
