Flintlock Fowler, either 20 or 16. If I'm pinned down a 20.

Flintlock smoothbore fowler, .62 caliber. I can hunt everything with it.
I too went with the flintlock Fowler because of the versatility. And the no need for caps. Due to the small size of deer and the small game choices in my area it would be, in order of preference, a 28, 24, or 20. Here a guy could eat well for years with that gun...

No percussion smooth bore option?
I will amend the poll…
I chose my percussion .50 cal because I can hit a high percentage of what I’m aiming at.

I’d go with my 58 smoothbore ( slim) I think it would fill the bill up hear .I chose my percussion .50 cal because I can hit a high percentage of what I’m aiming at.
. But the one I shoot most, and probably favorite is my Chambers .62 caliber, flintlock smooth bore.
I’ll go with the Nun’ya…
A flintlock gatling gun with alternating smooth and rifled barrels, a suppressor, a bump stock, wrist brace, laser sights, automatic flint sharpening and a metric ton of Swiss powder. Only Swiss or I'm going home and I mean it, people!
I was tempted to go with military musket, but tho' Bess hath her charms, a fowling piece just feels too useful and handles better in the woods.

I chose .50 flintlock because no need for caps, it is accurate, it will take down anything small to large by varying loads.

Looks like I’m an army of one with my percussion smoothie. Like any firearm, specialization makes for the right tool for the job, but like back when I drank beer, I would have had a different one every time if I could. The smoothie, in .60 would provide the versatility to do something new whenever I had the inkling. And percussion is more reliable. There’s little worse than a click with no boom. Not that I would ever yuck someone’s yum.
I chose the flintlock Fowler even though I don't own anything of the sort. But it's hard to argue the versatility of the thing.
