+# Gunslinger
+
+This mod provides an API to add a variety of realistic and enjoyable guns to Minetest. A variety of different guns are provided with the mod, and can be disabled if required.
+

+
+## Architecture
+
+Gunslinger makes use of gun _types_ in order to ease registration of similar guns. A `type` is made up of a name and a table of default values to be applied to all guns registered with that type. At least one type needs to be registered in order to register guns.
+
+`Raycast` is used to find target in line-of-sight, and all objects take damage. Damage is calculated as detailed in [Damage calculation](###Damage-calculation)
+
+## API
+
+### Damage calculation
+
+Weapon damage = `def.type.base_dmg * def.dmg_mult`
+
+If headshot, damage is increased by 50%
+
+If shooter was looking through scope, damage is increased by 20%
+
+### Methods
+
+#### `gunslinger.register_type(name, def)`
+
+- Registers a def table for the type `name`.
+- The def table contains the default values for all the guns registered with this type. e.g. `style_of_fire`, `enable_scope`, etc.
+
+#### `gunslinger.register_gun(name, def)`
+
+- Registers a gun with the type `def.type`, and assigns the type defaults to the gun.
+- The def table contains gun-specific values like `clip_size`, `wield_image`, `scope_image`, etc.
+- Default type values can also be overridden per gun by just including that value in the def table.
+
+### Definition table fields used by API methods
+
+#### Fields passed to `gunslinger.register_type`
+
+- `type` [string]: Name of a valid type (i.e. type registered by `gunslinger.register_type`)
+- `style_of_fire` [string]: Sets style of fire
+  - `"manual"`: One shot per-click.
+  - `"burst"`: Three shots per-click.
+  - `"splash"`: Shotgun-style pellets; one burst per-click.
+  - `"automatic"`: Fully automatic; shoots as long as primary button is held down.
+  - `"semi-automatic"`: Same as `"automatic"`, but switches to `"burst"` when scope view is toggled.
+- `scope` [string]: Sets style of scope.
+  - `"none"`: Default. No scope functionality.
+  - `"ironsight"`: Ironsight, without zoom. Unrestricted peripheral vision
+  - `"scope"`: Proper scope, with zoom. Restricted peripheral vision.
+- `base_dmg` [number]: Base amount of damage dealt in HP.
+
+#### Fields passed to `gunslinger.register_gun`
+
+- `itemdef` [table]: Item definition table passed to `minetest.register_item`.
+- `scope_overlay` [string]: Name of scope overlay texture. Must be provided if `scope` is defined. Overlay texture would be stretched across the screen.
+- `clip_size` [number]: Number of bullets per-clip.
+- `fire_rate` [number]: Number of shots per-second.
+- `dmg_mult` [number]: Damage multiplier value. Final damage is calculated by multiplying `dmg_mult` with the type's `base_dmg`.
