18th Century Pirate Blunderbuss
This replica of an 18th-century pirate blunderbuss is made from a combination of metal and resin to ensure its longevity. Considered a precursor of the shotgun, the barrel-loaded blunderbuss could be used to fire multiple pellets at once, which made it an ideal weapon for close-range battles such as naval skirmishes. It features a metal trigger and hammer, and a resin butt plate.
Even though the materials used in this replica make it unusable with real firearms, the trigger still makes a satisfying "click" sound when pulled. Therefore, the pistol would make a perfect addition to a re-enactment or stage show.
Please note that due to restrictions imposed by our couriers we are unable to send these replicas outside the U.K.

FAQs
Does it produce smoke or fire caps?
Our selection of Flintlock pistols do not produce smoke or fire caps.
Does the trigger pull and cock?
Yes the trigger does pull back and cocks.
Is it possible to put orange tips in for use in public for a convention?
There's no requirement for orange muzzles in the UK, and no legal restriction on realistic imitation firearms of a pre-1870 design. Whilst anything resembling a firearm might be deemed a realistic imitation firearm by police if carried in public without good reason, we can't see why a convention or other event wouldn't qualify as good reason. As this should be taking place on private property for one thing, and participants will have a) costumes and b) tickets for the event, demonstrating said good reason.
