Flintlock Pistol
A flintlock pistol is a primitive weapon based on explosive powder. These simple black powder weapons can take many forms, from finely crafted pistols constructed for the nobles of low-tech worlds to simple pipe and powder affairs used by underhive scum. They are uncommon and are famous for their low battle characteristics but those which do exist are sometimes very heavily ornamented and carried by high ranking officers mainly as decoration.[1][2][3]
Deuce Pistol
This twin-barrelled variant of the flintlock pistol is popular on many worlds where duelling is common, while also serving as a useful hunting sidearm. Most models feature separate triggers, one for each barrel, allowing the wielder to fire twice before having to reload. Typically, both triggers can be pulled at once.[4]
