Picking Only One Period Weapon.

[GreyWhiskers]

If you had to pick only one, what would you say would be the best all around choice for a 'Period' flintlock/percussion black powder weapon? :hmm:

I wish the question was clearer. "Weapon" makes me think of something to use against people. If that's the case a Colt Dragoon would be my choice. GW

If I could have only one it would be a .69 smoothbore persussion musket.

I could have said rifle but some shot guns and carbines were mentioned that fit nicely too. I assumed that I narrowed it down enough it would be 'figured' as a rifle choice. But hey.... what ever floats your boat! :thumbsup:

Gimme a side by side. Left barrel rifled .54 and right barrel .62 smooth. Then I can either pick 'em off at a distance or blast 'em with buckshot when they jump outta the bushes. :wink:

My choice would be an Early Virginia in 50 cal.

.62/ 20ga 38" Tulle Fusil, does everything I want it to, and is correct from almost any period on this continent. Shoots about a 2" group at 25yds, which translates to plenty good accuracy for a smoothie. Even won a candle shoot last week, .62 makes a lot of wind...........
