RT 1370 (Premysloides Dynasty)

RT 1330
RT 1370 or Rifle Type 1370, rifle that made great leap in development of firearms and had deep impact on strenghtening imperial power for many decades.

However, rifle past is obscure. First mention of development is from late reign of Emperor Andronikos, who wanted to replace ineffective RT 1330 with better weapon. Emperor Andronikos decreed Imperial Arsenal of Constantinople on March 7, 1342. In early 1348, development, as well as many weapon and ammunition production facilities, were without reason moved from Constantinople to Antioch and Tripolis. There, appointed developing team, led by Sergion Marianus, experienced technician and expert on ammunition and Luccia Claudia, expert on weapon construction and systems, continued through next decades in development of RT 1370.
