Commodore Swab Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 At Fisherman's Village Pirate Fest the safety inspection was modified slightly to include checking flintlocks for adequate spark in addition to safety. As a result on Sunday (I am using Sunday as an example because most weapons had already been fired Friday and Saturday and misfires would be more common on Sunday) there were over 40 combined shots fired by small arms in a variety of pistols, muskets, and blunderbusses. Of those shots attempted there was 1 pan flash where the charge did not go off and 1 misfire bringing the overall score of flintlock (there were no cap guns) weapons to over 95% reliability!
