When I said the pistols were inacurate, I did not make myself clear. The pirates in the game reload their pistols impossibly fast. They would have to clean the barrel, pour in the powder, put in the shot, ram the shot in, prime the pistol and fire. I probubly left a step or two out, if I did feel free to correct me. Pirates of that era would usually carry multiple pistols, load them before a battle, then not reload them until after the battle. Muskets and blunderbusses, on the other hand, would be reloaded multiple times during a battle. They took the same ammount of time, but were more powerful and had more range. As for my comment about ignorance, I did not think you were trying to correct me, I was just saying I hadn't looked it up in a while. I am sorry for any lapses in my communication.
