I don’t know if this is intentional or a bug, but I’ve been using nothing but a long bow and now a the RR Bow since I’m level 8 in archery. I’ve noticed since I’ve been using the RR bow I’ve been gaining firearm levels. The only weapons I use are the RR bow, and a Nail bat… so unless I accidentally modified my bat to have a trigger, I don’t see why I’m now at level 5 in firearms.

Firearms is a general “aiming” skill right now. Not exactly the best name, but that’s what it is. The actual gun skills are listed as pistols, rifles, etc.
