Why do many Fantasy/Medieval games ignore guns when they existed alongside knights for at least 200 years?

Because they're a bitch load and fire and seen as a threat to melee combat which is how most people wish to play those games. Also the majority of early firearms were innaccurate.

Because Crossbow Users are jealous.

It doesn't fit into the era fantasy that we've established across pop culture over the last few decades.
X-fantasty > X-Realism
Every single time.
If you go for X-Realism over X-fantasy, X will lose its soul in your game.

This...is...my...BOOMSTICK!

Bows and crossbows weren't exactly swiss in their precision, yet they're abundant in most RPGs
Wyatt Jenkins
Firearms just aren't seen as "fantasy" to most people, unless they look like a design nightmare and fire crazy shit like living creature bullets or elemental blasts.
Luis Williams
What if they looked over the top like Fantasy's handguns?
Levi Barnes

Aiden Lopez
What about revolver muskets?
Charles Perry
Crossbows actually have a chance of hitting a target, and don't have a chance of blowing up your face. Medieval guns have accuracy that's wildly off (to the point no one really considered a thread to themselves at the time) and had a very good chance of blowing up in the person's hands.
Angel Williams
I'm not a gun expert, but wouldn't a revolving cylinder make the multiple barrels obsolete?
Nicholas Perez
Judging from the way it looks, the cylinder doesn't revolve on the Warhammer gun.
Landon Rodriguez
So they just modelled it like that because it looks cool?
Josiah Sullivan
Pike and shot is 100x more aesthetic than gayass swords and shields.
Samuel Foster
Hell yeah
Jason Ramirez
Pike and shot fags are so insufferable.
Nobody likes your easily forgotten form of combat.
Oliver Clark
Arquebuses and muskets are more accurate than crossbows, and where are you getting them having a "very good chance of blowing up" from?
Jason Perry
firearms are hardly medival, so are plate armor. they're early-early modern. when people say "medival" they mean usually mean 6th century~13th western europe. crusades, vikings, normans, black death, you know
Nathan Morales
The formula they used for early gundpowder was extremely unstable.

How do you pronounce Arquebus? I still have no idea.
Noah Taylor
Ark bus.
Nathan Howard
>ah yes, i love medival history, love them Leonardo Davinci, Ottoman Empire, Winged Hussar, Martin Luther, Jeane D'Arc, Renaissance and the War of the Roses

Ar as in Armadillo

Swordfags are just upset that Hammers, Axes, Spears, and Firearms are much more practical Weapons and they don't want people figuring that out.
Jason James
Could be a gatling
Jeremiah Lewis
Did you actually read the article you linked (they're both the same one)? It says nothing about guns exploding in people's hands, and even states that the people doing the study didn't do much actual shooting. People weren't stupid back then; they wouldn't have used mixtures that hadn't been tested and proven to be relatively safe beforehand in combat.
