"Real" sword, "Real" flintlock

[Epic Jack]

I know this is a bit late but I would agree, unless you were lucky enough to get the MR compass or flintlock you're kind of stuck with the toy ones...but even then, if you had an rare, limited flintlock would you REALLY want to risk it getting damaged by carrying it around your belt all day? The scabbard sort of comes hand in hand with a real sword and there are very few places you can get around with an actual sword...even being in stage combat and getting around with a steel practice blade can get you in all heaps of trouble depending on where you are. I wouldn't be surprised if the authorities came down on people for carrying the toy pistols stuck in their belts...

authorities don't have problems with flintlocks. something about a style of gun made before a certain year...in most state's gun laws, anyway. They're also quite durable. I know quite a few pirates who carry flintlocks with them.
