The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Small arms is a subset of light firearms that is designed to be readily carried and operated by an individual.
- The term "firearm" is however variably defined both technically and legally in different countries, and can be used colloquially to refer to any type of guns including air guns.
- The first firearms originated in 10th-century Song dynasty China, when bamboo tubes containing gunpowder and pellet projectiles were mounted on spears to make the portable fire lance, which was operable by a single person and was later used effectively as a shock weapon in the siege of De'an in 1132.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Firearm article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
