Denix 1077G flintlock pistol
Reproduction of a flintlock pistol used from about the year 1600 too about 1850. Made of metal and wood with simulated mechanism of loading and firing.
The flintlock pistols had the blistering of a flint or flint stone, which when the hammer was triggered, it produced the spark that ignited the gun powder.
All these pistols required the manual recharge of their ammunition after each shot.
The ammunition, which was introduced through the mouth of the barrel, consisted of gunpowder, projectile and paper wad, which served as a cap to keep the two previous ones compressed inside the barrel.
These historical pistols were used as self-defense weapons until about the middle of the 19th Century. Flintlock pistols often had problems compared to modern weapons, due to moisture or accidental shots.
In combat, these weapons usually were used for a single shot, since the method of reloading was very slow and mostly there was no time to recharge. A sword or knife came in handy at the point of having a pistol with no bullit inside.
