Rate My Duelling Pistol !

From a 70's movie titled "Duel".

I have a feeling someone will die

But not me !

And me neither
So we can move on, don't you think

Moving on ...

That thing's got a smooth bore. Putting a red dot on it isn't going to make it more accurate. Then again, I don't imagine most duels take place that far apart, so it probably isn't necessary anyway.

Technically true but really spoils the joke

Never stop telling jokes !

aesthetically pleasing however one of the weak points is the flintlock mechanism, those stones can wear out from overuse and can be a pain in the ass to replace, also if you do use this weapon you will be unable to use normal bullets and be forced to rely upon bullets such as ball bearings or miniballs, ball bearings are slightly faster to load but have horrible accuracy making any aiming modifications pointless, however miniballs have better accuracy due to being rifled however due to their shape they have to be lubricated, i dont remember the exact reason why but i think it has to do with preventing damage to the barrel, anyway my rating is 3.5/10 and not suitable for the sniping one would use a scope for

Many years ago, I used to shoot muzzle loaders including pistols, shotguns, smooth bore muskets and my favorite 1861.577 Three Band Enfiield as well as a massive 25mm bore French Elephant Gun.
I used to cast my own lead balls, stamp out wads and cards and, In my area, flint ocurred naturally, so I taught myself to knap flints.
One thing you should NEVER do, is load patched ball bearings. It they hit something solid, they have a tendancy to bounce straight back at you !
I have had the opportunity to handle several pairs of original duelling pistols from the 18th Century
