Arquebus, Heavy (3.5e Equipment)

Loading a heavy arquebus is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Normally, operating a heavy arquebus requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a heavy arquebus with one hand at a -4 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a heavy arquebus with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two one-handed weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
