By The Sword Catalog : Firearm Replicas : Functional Muskets and Pistols : Blunderbuss Flintlock Pistol GI-1002

Blunderbuss Flintlock Pistol (Functional)
Ref: GI-1002
18th century blunderbuss flintlock pistol has a smooth bore functional brass barrel and wooden butt. This rare pistol includes an integral bayonet. The bayonet is spring loaded and when released springs forward and locks in place. This blunderbuss pistol was a favorite firearm of Pirates.

A blunderbuss is a muzzle-loading firearm with a flared, trumpet-like barrel and is the predecessor to the shotgun. Most of these weapons are mid-sized, being smaller than most shoulder-fired arms, but larger than a pistol. Although fitted with a butt, the dimensions suggest that most were not really intended to be fired from the shoulder and were instead fired from the hip. The compact dimensions of a blunderbuss would facilitate use in small spaces (e.g. on a ship, or in a house) and would also make storage easier. For those requiring an even smaller weapon, blunderbuss pistols were also produced.

The funnel-shaped barrel (either round or elliptical) is not designed to enhance the ballistics of the weapon, but serves to facilitate loading ammunition into the muzzle. This makes it much easier to refill a blunderbuss with shot in situations where this would not normally be possible (as when riding shotgun on a stagecoach speeding down a bumpy road or on the decks & riggings of a ship).

A blunderbuss can fire multiple balls simultaneously, and generally discharges its entire load at once. This made the blunderbuss the ideal weapon for boarding ships.

With the addition of black powder, flint and a slight modification this musket can be made to fire.
