A Muzzle-loading Pistol (1,500 grams, TL-3 or 4) is a single-shot pistol, with either a flintlock or percussion firing mechanism. [1]
Description (Specifications)
It requires a small amount of time to reload during which time the firer may not evade, and when fired, it may misfire. If a misfire occurs, the weapon will not fire, but the firer may attempt to fire it after clearing it. It fires as a body pistol. [2]
History & Background (Dossier)
All these weapons require that the owner also carry gunpowder and properly sized lead balls; percussion weapons also require a supply of percussion caps. [3]
