Kitfisto, was not my intention to indicate any ignorance. Not at all, just to further identify what you'd referred to for better understanding by all. The pistols in the game (Appearance wise) are actually quite accurate for the era, and to the movie script. Pirates were marooned with a flintlock pistol, and 1 shot (in theory to put themselves out of thier own misery).
As for something with a bit more kick, the quested pistols raise the fire power bar for sure. Purchase the double barrel pistol to make it even more effective (until you can quest for the upgraded tri-barrels)
The blunderbuss definately was a weapon of this era, and likely pirates did carry them, as they dealt a devasting blow to anyone in front of them.
