[UA] New artefact and ritual

How would the followers know it was a .29 caliber or whatever?  That
wouldn't get recorded, and if the people were that desperate, they wouldn't
usually have the opportunity to find an expert to make new ammo.  The
problem with using a plot hook that evades the opportunity to find it is
that it evades opportunity to become a plot hook.

I don't see a feasable way that the gun could be well known.  There could be
a theory that desperate people tend to find guns, perhaps guns with seven
chambers, perhaps a single gun with seven chambers, but that would be the
famous part, not the caliber that most wouldn't recognize...

The other issue with the ritual is how could a person perform that ritual on
themselves?  The story seems to imply that happened, but really, A) cover
yourself in clay and B) break yourself out with a bronze hammer.  That is
admittedly a lesser point, but there's an aspect of believability in any
game and UA no less so than others.
