Traditions .50 Caliber Flintlock Pistol

[RustyShackleford]

It's a requirement to yell "Tally-ho, lads!" when firing

[spicygaming]

Imagine getting robbed with this "present thy valuables heathen or have at thee!"

[natemmerson]

Now 3D print a frame and made an electric arc trigger to set it off, the booligan way

"Does get more old school than a flintlock"


*Hand cannon has entered the chat*

[brotherhoodofsteel]

I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

"Doesn't get much more old school...." laughs while stroking my wheellock and matchlock.

as a great youtuber once said "a flinlock is an affective carry gun because of you miss you have a smoke screen to get away:

Just a piece of advice, watch to make sure that the flint stays sharp, use a tiny hammer to break off dull areas when needed. Also, the frizzen's steel can get worn down over use, make sure to keep it treated when necessary.

You have one of the most unique gun collections ive seen

I would absolutely take a flintlock gun to hunt with.

Imagine firing one of these .50 caliber balls at someone in self-defense. It could get messy.

[imaginewhirledpeas]

Still viable option for "felons" ...not that I agree with losing your rights after you've " paid your debt" to society ...

This looks like a gun from a dream, it's so beautiful. Good job assembling it.

I wish I lived somewhere where I can have this hobby.

Good work!

[GaiusCaligula]

Considering that there is more firearms history before flintlock than after it, yes, it does get way more oldschool before the flintlock

I got a caplock rifle but I found out you can't use them for a special hunting season in PA, so lol I still need a flintlock

Back in my day we only had match locks. We had to keep the match burning at all times in order to ensure we could defend ourselves. You snowflakes today don’t know how good you have it with your “cheater locks”
