Four Shots, One Destiny

In an era where reloading was slow and dangerous, having four rotating barrels was a crucial advantage. This feature made these weapons true survival tools in close combat, allowing the wielder to respond quickly before resorting to the steel of the saber or the ferocity of hand-to-hand combat.

The Spirit of Naval Combat

Flintlock pistols, essential in boarding and close-quarters duels, used a flint stone that, when struck by the hammer, generated the spark that ignited the gunpowder. However, after a shot, they were rendered useless until reloaded. Therefore, many combatants also used these weapons as improvised clubs, striking them with the butt in desperate battles.
