Arms Dealer

The Arms Dealer is an NPC that will spawn once the following criteria have been met:
 * There is an empty house.
 * The player has at least one bullet or bullet-firing gun in their inventory (guns stored in storage items like chests do not count).

If the Arms Dealer is killed, he will only respawn if there's an available house in the town.

When threatened by enemies, the Arms Dealer will use a Flintlock Pistol to defend himself. Once Hardmode begins, he upgrades to a Minishark for self-defense. He deals 24 / /  damage in pre-Hardmode (decreasing to 15 /  /  damage in Hardmode, although he does gain an increased rate of fire to compensate).

As players progress, he will gain various stat increases.

Spawning criteria
Below is a list of qualifying guns and bullets that can be in the player's inventory to spawn him.

Tips

 * The easiest way to acquire a qualifying gun is to smash either a Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart in the Corruption or the Crimson. They will always drop a Musket or an Undertaker, respectively, on the first break, as well as some Musket Balls.
 * The Musket and Undertaker can also be found in Corrupt Crates and Crimson Crates, respectively.
 * Other qualifying early guns include:
 * Boomstick (from Jungle Crates and Ivy Chests)
 * (from Presents).
 * The Flare Gun, despite being called a "gun", does not qualify &mdash; neither do flares.
 * The Pigronata drops bullets. It is purchased from the Party Girl during a Party.

Trivia

 * The name Brimst may be a reference to, one of the ingredients of.
 * He seems to be attracted to both the Nurse and the Dryad. This is seen in his quote about the date with the Nurse, and the Dryad's quote about him flirting with her. He also flirts with the Mechanic, according to her quote about the pressure plate, but he seemingly has more of an interest in the Nurse.
 * His interest in the Nurse is further backed by selling her clothes on Halloween instead of his own (though on a technical level, the Nurse does not have a shop interface to sell any items).
 * The Arms Dealer and Guide seem to argue with each other through Emotes, implying they do not get along. This is further evidenced by his quote regarding the Guide Voodoo Doll. However, the Guide has no effect on his happiness.
 * The quote about the Guide Voodoo Doll still appears even if the Guide is dead, but the name will be random each time.
 * His quote about ammo being extra is a reference to the fact that in many action films where firearms are prominently featured, they seem to have a heavily exaggerated ammo capacity.
