En garde! ...POW! Duel over. With the Flintlock Pistol, when someone challenges you to a duel with their Pirate Cutlass, you simply pull out your sidearm and blow them away. Featuring a half cocked hammer, this historical gun used the prevailing technology of the time for firearms, the flintlock mechanism. While it's obviously been well-phased out by now, for historically based minifigures, the Flintlock Pistol fits right in.
