18th Century Pirate Flintlock CO2 BB Pistol

Everything

The fact that it broke after the second use.

I love that this is an actual firing musket the fact that its an actual bb firing weapon is great its sturdy well built and pretty heavy duty it is easy to load and I love the two prong cocking system it's just like the real thing. This is a fun gun and a great conversation piece.

Nothing.

Remember that this is built on the same principles as a real musket so accuracy is going to take take plus a real wooden body would only add weight and difficulty. I have fired real musket weapons and I find using the opposite eye you normally target with seemed to help me with accuracy. This is a fun weapon give it a little time to grow on you.

The looks,easy loading and pretty good accuracy at 25 feet.

Make the bottom plate where you load the CO2 held on with screws instead of snap on.

It's a fun gun that looks as real as you can get for that era.

It's well crafted I love the designs also the presentation was really good it's also a nice hefty weight.. I haven't had a chance to test run this thing but I really gonna enjoy it as a collectors item... But I am going to give a test run as soon as it gets warmer

Use real wood instead of that replication stuff that way the price could actually be significant.. I really don't have a problem with the fake wood but for the price it's a little bothersome to me..

If you're a collector it's a must have it's definitely a nice piece up close and personal.. it's always nice have a replication of the real deal.. it makes you like you hold a piece of history..

I like the idea of this 18th Century Pirate Flintlock BB pistol. It's a refreshing change from all of the modern pistol designs. Although the stock and barrel shroud are all plastic, the pistol has a very attractive appearance with the artificial "wood grain" and the molded-in images on the barrel shroud, trigger guard, CO2 cap, hammer, and flash pan cover.

Unfortunately, there is much I don't like. The BB feed mechanism is flawed. With each pull of the trigger, at least 2 or more BBs were shot together in a single shot. Even allowing that the accuracy of this pistol will not be very good because the barrel is not rifled, this pistol shoots much worse than all of my other replica BB pistols. The BB shots are more like a shotgun scattershot pattern. Many of the BBs were so low powered that the shots bounced off the surface of a paper target on a thin sheet of cardboard or a thin sheet of paper even at close range. I can only speculate that the low shot power may be due to a barrel inner diameter that is fractionally too large thereby allowing CO2 to blowby the BB as the BB traverses the barrel.

Total shot count per 12 g CO2 may be as high as 90, but with the weakened shots, I would advise stopping between maybe 60 to 70 shots. This is a plinking pistol that is difficult to aim with any accuracy. Hitting small targets will be very difficult except at very close range. I recommend using a very large, soft, easily penetrable target. However, my overall recommendation is don't buy this pistol. It's way over-priced and not worth more than about $50 - $60. While I would like to see more flintlock style pistol and rifle replicas, the manufacturer needs to invest better design engineering and manufacturing quality into the product than was invested in this particular pistol.

It's fun! Easy to use and approxamates an old flint lock pistol. The packaging is excellent and fits in a 18"X8" box. I found an old looking wooden box on ebay and just transfered the foam and felt from the factory box to the wooden box. Looks like something Black Bart would keep in his captain's quarters.

A real wood stock would be nice, but the plastic on this one is pretty nice.

This is strictly a plinking gun. Can't really say if it's accurate because there are no sights. It's a point and shoot gun.

Solid power and the engravings are nice. The instructions are in a pirate map style.

I would want a real wood alternative. And maybe lower the price. Its cool but not for the price, in my opinion.
