Arquebus, Light (3.5e Equipment)

Loading an arquebus is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Normally, operating an arquebus requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, an arquebus with one hand at a -2 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot an arquebus with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
