So I have been reflecting on the way many people since 3.X have been interpreting the Gunslinger and its Archetypes and this is my adaptation/interpretation for the Gunslinger as a Player Class. I'm hoping that you guys can help me understand if this is balanced or IMO a bit under-powered. I would love to hear some recommendations.
Gunslinger Class (https://merovia.obsidianportal.com/wikis/gunslinger)
Archtypes:
MYSTERIOUS STRANGER (STEALTH GUNSLINGER) (https://merovia.obsidianportal.com/wikis/mysterious-stranger)
SHARPSHOOTER (PRECISION [CRIT] GUNSLINGER) (https://merovia.obsidianportal.com/wikis/sharpshooter)

Haven't looked at the archetypes yet, but here's a few things that need fixing on the base class:

Dueling: Change the name, or have it be regular dueling. There shouldn't be two fighting styles with the same name.

Rapid Reload: As written, this is worse than nothing. You normally reload a weapon as part of the action to shoot it, which is less than a bonus action. If the goal is to let you ignore the Loading property for a turn, say that.

Gunslinger's dodge: A bunch of 3.5/PF terms that have no meaning in 5e.

Blast Lock: Also too 3.5-y. ACs are way too high for 5e.

Otherwise looks good. Probably wants a way to ignore the Loading quality, or else Extra Attack is useless.

HAHAHA!!! Great catch on the Rapid Reload and yeah I editted the wording on those. Thank you for the read, the gun tricks were the most odd to modify.

Good job on this class. I will review it in detail later.
