I wonder what stupid countries think flint lock, muzzle loaders don't count as firearms? It's like saying a bow is not a cross bow, what's the point?

Well in U.S. Law many states don't consider black powder guns to be firearms, and thus can be shipped to a private party via the U.S. Mail. Usually really old guns or kits, but it's more of a LEGAL interpretation that drives the definition versus the scientific one. They ARE technically firearms, but (happily for those of us who like to buy them) many of the old matchlock, flintlock or percussion cap guns are not legally firearms for the purposes of restrictions or paperwork.

I honestly can't imagine somebody going on a crime spree with a muzzle loading flint/wheel lock pistol.
Still, would make for a great episode of CSI. "Got the bullet back from the lab?" "Yeah, but there must be some mistake." "No Alex, no mistake. *Glasses on* Somebody is killing in the past." YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! |

If we ever get any users who are knowledegable about flintlocks, then we should allow pages featuring those guns. But so far, we haven't had any such users, at least none that I've seen. Though my Dad is big into flintlocks and black powder weapons, so if only he wasn't such a Luddite, I could get him into IMFDB.

There isn't much to know about them. They are a very simple firearm that takes a minute to load
