Fang Zhen got himself ready and sorted out his gear.
Now that he had the Desert Viper Handgun, he could leave the compound bow behind for now. The compound crossbow was another matter.
The effective range of a typical handgun is about fifty meters. That's for an ordinary person; with better skill and a high-performance handgun, that distance can be extended.
At close range, a handgun could replace the compound bow.
The compound crossbow was a different story. Although it was slow to reload, it could substitute for a sniper rifle within a certain range. He could use it when necessary.
He also brought a long spear, since he might run into close-quarters combat with melee weapons.
It was often said that a gun is fast beyond seven steps, and both fast and accurate within seven steps. However, dungeons were full of monsters—like Montagu from the Fallen Knight dungeon—against whom a handgun might not be as effective as a long spear.
