Humans all died in the mid-2100s and the robots have bigger shit to worry about. Like bigger robots.
The other four are mostly related to the first reason.
Mason Ramirez
They are... in a way.
Luke Morales
because my setting thinks that fire and pointy sticks are the coolest shit ever
Someone proposed using round woods and stones to transport things, but people are afraid of this new technology called " wheel "
Lucas Sanders
You own the Warhammer 40k IP?
Andrew Parker
Too primitive for one setting, no gundpowder in the second one but absolutely perfect to mount on a Biplane. Let's go, Hans! We will show zees savages ze meaning of Zivilisation!

Because the closest equivalent to guns is single-shot flamethrowers stolen from Exalted, and there's not much difference between a lot of small barrels shooting at once and one big barrel to make the former worth its increased complexity. And the people that have these things are already cutting edge by having matchlocks in the bronze age so I don't feel the need to give them something fancier.
Hudson Richardson
They are if you count museums.
Aaron Fisher
Because a cannon with grapeshot is better in every way
>faster for a crew to reload one big barrel than 20 small ones
>much longer range
>can fire solid shot and explosive shells depending on need
Elijah Williams
Video related. He compares the cannon to the gatling gun but the same arguments apply

1 - They sucked.
2 - Because they sucked, they weren't adopted.
3 - They weren't adopted because people weren't stupid enough to keep using something that sucked.
4 - The people in my setting are at least as smart as people historically.
5 - The people in my setting won't adopt them for the same reasons they weren't adopted historically.
How's that, OP?
Elijah Phillips
Because belt-feeds are a thing.
Julian Lewis
They are.
Logan Hall
why use that when you could use bear shot?
Xavier Wood
...
Dylan Bailey
It's in space and based on anime robot fightan.
Nathan Ramirez
1. They're totally gay.
2. My setting doesn't have gunpowder.
3. Lasers don't work in a volley gun.
4. The wheel hasn''t been invented.
5. There are no projectile weapons in the setting.
Jason Rodriguez
They are. But bullets are also stopped by the grit and shields of men.
Oliver Thomas
Its currently 2016 in the game I'm GMing.
volleyguns are in museums.
Connor Martin
Because it's four thousand years in the future
Jason Gray

Colton Morris
No, no, that does not follow at all. A gravity feed is quite different.
James Stewart
You don't need wheels to make a laser, stupid.
