Denix 18th Century Flintlock Pistol with Brass Ornate Handle Butt – Non-Firing Replica

Description

18th Century Replica Non Firing Flintlock Pistol – Brass Reproduction of
flintlock gun made of metal and wood with simulated mechanism of loading and
firing. The flintlock pistols had the blistering of a flint or flint stone,
which when the hammer was triggered, it produced the spark that ignited the
gun powder. All these pistols required the manual recharge of their ammunition
after each shot. The ammunition, which was introduced through the mouth of the
barrel, consisted of gunpowder, projectile and paper wad, which served as a
cap to keep the two previous ones compressed inside the barrel. These pistols
were used as self-defense weapons until the middle of the 19th century. Their
effective range was short and often they were used as a complement to a sword
or knife. Flintlock pistols were prone to many problems compared to modern
weapons, due to moisture or accidental shots. In combat, usually these weapons
were used for a single shot, since the method of reloading was very slow and
it was not usually time enough to recharge. Therefore the fighters after
firing were forced to draw their sabers or swords or to use the pistol as a
blackjack, since the circumstances did not allow to recharge them in time.
