Guns

There are a variety of guns available in Terraria with increasing levels of potency as more rare guns are acquired. The guns range from early to modern styles and designs, starting with the Flintlock Pistol that can be acquired early on in the game, and later weapons such as the Phoenix Blaster that has significantly more damage, range and accuracy. Some of the guns require ammunition such as Musket Balls for the Flintlock, where as others use up the players mana under sustained fire. An example of a weapon that uses mana as a reseource is the Space Gun that consumes 7 mana per shot, so unless you have a large amount of mana at your disposal, or if you happen to own a set of Meteor Armour and a few Bands of Starpower then this is an ideal weapon as in theory you would have unlimited ammo, although mana does not regenerate while using it.

Certain special weapons are also available in game, such as the Star Cannon that actually fire fallen stars, although this may not be the most effiecent weapon in Terraria's aresenal, it can keep you striving for more outlandish gear and equipment after getting far into the game.

Some weapons are more fanciable than others, although they can be heavy on your wallet they can really pay off, such as the MiniShark, with which you can really make the bosses eat your dust.
