These idiotic and barbaric weapons were upgrades from other dumber weapons and were an attempt to scale down a cannon into a handheld size, which while it sounds awesome, but was in reality totally retarded. First of all, what is one standard characteristic of cannons? Stability. With these dumb flintlocks, the black powder in the firing tray would fall out if you tilted it. Or it would explode in your pocket. Or it would blow up your gun while it was in your hand. Or it would fire properly, but not when you wanted it to. And because the barrel was smooth bored and often not rifled, it had a range of about arms length and would still miss half the time. You might as all well use the heavy motherfucker like a club, but if you need to club someone to death with your gun, lose the shitty gun and get a sword. And while it has a built in cool factor because of its use by pirates, the black powder would become useless in damp conditions (such as on boats) and therefore you'd get a boat full of drunken angry pirates impotently swinging wooden clubs that should be firing musket balls.
