Is jhin's gun or guns hextech?

Once the basic principle is understood, scaling the whole thing is a very simple process. Like, it took the medival europeans some time to figure out cannons and gunpowder, but oh boy they did not waste any time after that to build the biggest meanest things they could come up with, like the Mons Egg (1449, 520 milimeter caliber) or the Tsar Cannon (1568, 890 milimeters caliber).

So yeah Piltover invented it, but once the ionian craftsmen understood the basic principle, ramping up the power was pretty much a piece of cake, especially when combined with the typical ionian understanding of magic. To be honest I'm more scared of what happens once the noxian military finds a way to produce a lot of these for cheap - and they will since they already have their "regular" weapon-producing infrastructure. The system is already there, it just needs to be modified.

And this will be a massive turning point in this world. There's a reason the use of gunpowder in Europe is one of the markers for the end of the Middle Ages...

I always think about hextech in regards to how the “normal” people of runeterra can stand up against the ancient powers like the darkin, watchers, etc. When I read those stories I’m like man normal people are screwed but then I remember the technological advances made and understand that the ancient powers don’t anticipate this.

Pullover didn’t create the guns... and it’s extremely doubtful they’d be classified as “hextech” considering that brand comes from hextech crystals (originally derived from the Brackern, then a synthetic version created). Jhin’s Guns are Ionian in origin, the way they integrate magic into almost everything (more common than not to have some aptitude with magic if ur from ionia) is more natural and fluid than piltover’s scientific basis. Hextech is a blend of technology and some magic, the guns are magic infused rather than fueled by tech. Jhin himself makes it a point to say Whisper isn’t associated with Piltover.
