Yes, that's right it's a flintlock pistol with a lantern attach to it. Unlike other flintlock muzzleloading pistols, this one has a vertical grip that comes UP from the rear of the barrel. The grip has finger grooves and a trigger, which is apparently linked to the gun's action via a link running down through the grip.
A large trigger guard extends in front of the grip, encompassing all of the user's fingers. Read the rest here.
You may be right. But wasn’t the Brown Bess musket of the revolution it’s assault rifle of that time, just as the AR-15, SKS, M1A, AK-47 the muskets of today?

That's the law, regardless of how little sense it makes.

Can I get one at Cabelas?
That thing must produce some weird kind of recoil. Will the barrel flip go down or up?
