Citizens Of Antiford Tuff Man was founded in 1840. During its early years, Tuff Man manufactured cannons and, after following the popularization of the revolver, rapid-fire, revolving guns for Airships ( And any other kind of ship or large transport vehicle). In 1860, Tuff Man decided to enter the handheld firearms market. At first they designed smaller cannons one could carry around. What made the cannons popular also caused them to not sell particularly well. The sheer power of the weapon made it relatively unreasonable to wield. In 1865, Tuff Man began to develop shotguns. Compared to other shotguns on the market, they had a more significant recoil, but far superior accuracy. In 1870 Tuff Man decided to begin experimenting with a different style of gun. Most of the firearms they produced required mounting, as the recoil was excessive for an individual alone. 1872 Tuff Man released more advanced shotguns that most everyone could use. They were smaller and lighter, featuring a reduced recoil. Later, Tuff Man released Orr’s first “sniper rifle”, which was a high caliber round accurate to two hundred yards. Even though the first model was problematic, the rounds had a tendency to misfire, many people supported the new gun, especially the monarchy. Few were produced because of the expense of the materials and precise craftsmanship required to make one. 1880 Tuff Man Co. worked with the Antiford Monarchy and Titania in the development of the first weapon type to incorporate the newly available resource, electricity. It ended horribly, with nearly eighty scientists and military personnel killed. The project was sealed closed and never touched again. Today Tuff Man still thrives, mostly on its airship weapons sales, but are still experimenting and trying to get ahead on the rifle and firearm market.
