[MR] OT: Pirate Pistol

[Dexter Guptill]

Part of the reason matchlock pistols aren't all that common is that having a
matchlock kind of defeats the purpose of using a pistol in the first place.
Wheellock pistols are self-igniting, making them portable and concealable.
Walking around with a burning match in one's hand kind of defeats the
"concealment" thing.

That source does have an actual wheellock, but they've gone up a bit, since
I bought mine several years ago.
