Sure - and you can keep on pretending that 99% of people that didn't know the lore would look at a demon hunter using one of those things in action and wouldn't call it a gun.
Pistolicious fun starts @ 3mins. Speaking of blathering... the NPCs just don't shut up in this game, do they?
I didn't realize there were going to be guns in Diablo 3! Anyone else?
From the DH page...
"Demon hunters are able to pepper the battlefield with scores of arrows and projectiles, or snipe distant enemies with a precision undreamt of by other heroes. Their arsenal includes longbows, guns, grenades, hand-thrown weapons, and even dual-wielded crossbows."
Sweeeeeet
I just wanna point this out. Both guns and dual wield crossbows.
Though, Blizz already said (Sadly) that there would be no guns.
Skills like Evasive Fire say they use bullets. And the datamined items make no mention of guns, nor does the DH's weapon mastery. So its, in all likelihood, referring to certain skills.
Recoil in the trailer was one thing. Seeing it on every single crossbow shot is kindof ridiculous.
That's the funny thing - they made the animation yet weirder just so you might be a little less certain that the one-handed missile-firing weapon (which only existed IRL at least a generation after the first arquebus, and even then strictly as a novelty) was a gun.
Would you guys chill, this is sanctuary, for all you know xbows grow on trees and the first neph. made picked one up. And a shot like impale with 500% dmg on crit just GOTTA have some recoil =D Adds mo' flavor
All I know is that when I get around to making a DH, I'm definitely going either bow or 2handed xbow. At least initially. Gameplay with the pistol xbows will probably change mid-end game, then I will reevaluate.

It'd be cool if they changed their minds though!

This. If you really fired a crossbow like that, you wouldn't hit anything lol.

Arrows appear out of thin air, and lasers abound!
So when I throw icecubes at people I'm not really casting a frost bolt? :(:(
There is one straight fantasy rerun, and then:
- the gun class
- the laser class
- the exploding reptile class
- the streetfighter combo class
can't say they just redid cliches.
"There are no guns in Diablo. Shame on anyone who wants otherwise! SHAME.
It's an error in the text, and will be corrected."
