Blunderbuss - old school tactical

[mosinmaster]

Took a picture of this at the Boston Navy Yard museum. Imagine the damage done on the receiving end of this beast!.

 

[knock-knock]

Effective range - 4 inches

 

[Moser40s&w]

Ands 2 foot hole at 5" haha

But the beauty is it shoots anything!! Rocks, bullets, balls, bees, belt buckles, imagine!

 

[mosinmaster]

Apparently it was supposed to repel boarders. Big Boom and recoil probably!

Exhumed for " Pirate Defense " thread purposes.

Cool pics.

Imagine working up a load full of angry bees lol, that would be awesome.

There is one for sale here in St Albert. It's a beast. Flintlock and shot from the hip.

You could shove a bear down the barrel and shoot at a bear with a bear.

Imagine, a zombified bear, wearing a pirate hat and armed with a blunderbuss, shooting into space!

 

[GeoShooter]

With a wooden peg leg that also acts as a round in the 'buss in a pinch

 

[300Spartans]

Sort of like Rose McGowan/Cherry in Planet Terror.

 

[BernDawg]

Apparently Boars teeth used to be popular ammo in these....

I can confirm they are a ton of fun!

 

[supernova]

Your bunny can neither confirm nor deny but the look on his face tells me one of you enjoyed that. Repro?

^Yes a reproduction. Looks very close to that newer one for sale in St Albert I think.

One needs 9-10 gauge wads and fibre cards to run these little beasts, once you have the same size flints as the brown bess takes.

The internal bore is .775=10 gauge.

Where's the 1913 rail?

Is the rabbit the target or the ammo? After the bear comment, I had to ask.
