Oh, I had tagged you because there was a debate about the usage of pistols since the time is medieval in Errotria. I think we've found a solution???

Is the solution crossbows shooting energy bolts? Isn't that still the same as magical pistols though? The main disadvantage of crossbows and traditional firearms was that they were unwieldy to reload compared to bows, but if you made them magical, they're sorta just straight up better than bows...
And it still doesn't solve the issue of the fact that, unless everyone gets buffs that make them superhuman, people can't really react to projectile weaponry.

There is a logical reason why my character can use a pistol, would you like me to spoil it?

If the GM isn't aware of any secrets your character has, that's generally a bad thing.
And bow girl should probably go to Maou-sama.

Guy guys, if we are discussing the gun factor here and if its too powerful i'm sure everyone who is using them can change something to your liking.

I don't understand why guns exist in a fantasy world the first place, because that sort of shit dramatically tilts the scales of power.

Well sense this thing is steering up so much trouble i shalt spoil why my character has a gun, i can't speak for anyone else but for myself i can. Emi, my cat is from the modernish world of New Lonkyo. She was cursed to the world of Errotria for reasons unknown. During the transfer between worlds she gained powers however, in return she would remain forever as a cat to never get married or have a lover because of her animal form. This is why she can transform into a gun because she is not of Errotria.

Ah that's true. But in what I was thinking of, the guy still had to stop and reload (granted it wasn't very long compared to wooden bolts) but he had to stop and replenish bolts at regulag intervals. However it'd ultimately be up to whoever uses the dual familiar for them to weaken the weapons or whatever they want to do.
As for the projectile weapon... we already have a bow accepted. I mean, would you want to nerf the bow too? Because I'm certain that if they use medieval methods of firing said bow, they'd be faster than the crossbow. Which would pose the same issue as the crossbow.
Hmmm. I do think magical armor might have to be the way to nerf these projectile weapons... because I don't see a way to do so without making them ditch the ideas completely.

AIGHT GUYS THIS IS HOW IT'S PLAYIN' OUT
The world is medieval. Guns are fine with me, crossbows are fine with me. hell, even magical missiles are fine with me BUT: Magical projectiles lose energy very quickly, so they're relatively close range weapons anyway, and they have charge up times. Remember this is still an anime world, not a realistic world, so normal non-super humans still have anime-like reaction speeds - Errotrians are just even better than better, cos they have magic.
@Edward humans are COMPLETELY inert. They can't have magical powers whatsoever. This is why the humans are given familiars instead of just taught magic, which the Mentor would be perfectly capable of teaching - as long as they weren't humans. This is also why the Mentor wants to use RenCo to solve Errotria's problem - they can basically soak up all the magic like a sponge and turn the magic into nothingness. Thus, the human would not be able to become a familiar, even via curses. Please refrain from using origin-based plot twists for humans.
Additionally, if you make plot twists, you have a responsibility to tell the GMs about them beforehand. If you keep them secret and just reveal them In Character, you have no idea whether or not they'll work with the world. For example, if you have just revealed Emi was a human in the middle of an IC conversation, it would have caused a lot of unnecessary problems that wouldn't need to exist if you had PMd us about it first.
