What is a Blunderbuss Pistol?

So what exactly is a Blunderbuss pistol? Basically, its a muzzle loading firearm with a trumpet looking barrel. It shoots lead pellets that spreads out when fired. This is actually how we discovered the modern shotgun. A blunderbuss was the first "shotgun" of its time. Most of the blunderbuss weapons are mid sized meaning they are smaller than a rifle but larger than a pistol. We carry a few blunderbuss pistols including this British replica blunderbuss. Most people confuse the flintlock pistols with a blunderbuss but they are two very separate items. A flintlock replica fires a single round ball at a time while the blunderbuss has the capability of delivering several pellets in 1 single trigger pull. Just note the flaired end of the barrel when purchasing a quality replica blunderbuss pistol from Replica Dungeon.
