Where a gunsmith can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a gunsmith already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Gunsmiths modify and repair metal fabricated firearms for special costumer specifications. They use machines and hand tools such as planers, grinders and millers to alter and restore guns, and they may also apply engravings, carvings and other decorative finishing touches to the otherwise finished product.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a gunsmith already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
