Making the contact area smaller doesn't make them more effective, it makes them less so, as they then will come into contact with fewer body parts, and thus damage less. The problem is, if you make the contact area too high, you start severing things. I'll experiment with lowering the penetration to prevent that. In any case, what I posted is actually more effective than the crossbow bolts- it can penetrate armor fairly easily, often causes damage to nerves, tendons, and ligaments, and is pretty devastating when it hits an artery. Also, it tends to do massive damage when it hits the ribs. I'm working on refining it, though. I was able to kill an alligator with a naked human armed only with the gun and iron bullets, with no skills other than proficient archer and proficient crossbowman. Try doing that with a crossbow. (not that an alligator didn't kill a human a few times before I was able to kill an alligator with a human, but considering the inaccuracy of early guns, that makes sense... you either don't do much with your shots, or you do massive damage.

Hmm.. as heavy as a dagger, and 15 times wider impact area compared to vanilla DF's whip. Good 12k penetration.
I'd try [ATTACK:EDGE:2:8000:hit:hits:NO_SUB:7000] .

I guess it's the best choice, musket is a logical evolution of a crossbow.

Well, musket is the logical evolution is a large barrel you carry over your shoulder made of wood, and that was the logcial evolution of an even larger barrel on wheels.
Guns went the way of the phone and got smaller, not the way of the car and stayed about the same size but better.

[SHOOT_MAXVEL:2000]

Apply's a speed cap of 2000 to the object being fired, to prevent near weightless items going at the speed of light, apparently. try increasing that, it may work  but it also may make it over-powered

[TolyK]

try making it a blunt attack. might penetrate better without making OP
btw please post the mod when done 

[Liber celi]

Use the siege operator skill.
(no military skill, but it works)
don't make it blunt. blunt attacks are too strong, like chipping bones at the first hit, or too weak, like wasting hundreds of blows on an enemy before finally breaking his brain.
and is there any option to make reloading take longer?

Hmm....do GORE type damage still register for weapons? Cuz' as fas as I know GORE type is a hybrid of BLUNT & EDGE that's why it's used for horns and such...might be perfect for medieval guns.

The second page was too much of a stretch for me to read, but are the bullets heavy enough to get through? It might be like an adamantine warhammer, it looks awesome but it fucking sucks.
