I think they should be included in the main page, and should go on the flintlock pistol or wheellock pages as that is what they essentially are.

I suppose it might kind of depend on whether they skew more towards a pistol or sword, but trying to draw a line to distinguish would be problematic so might as well include them all. For example you do have some pistol swords that are essentially a flintlock pistol with a blade attached under the barrel, but then you have the other end of the spectrum where the ergonomics and appearance lend it more towards a sword such as it being basically a sidesword with a trigger inside the finger guard and a tiny pistol on the side of the blade.
