Pirate Guns

The typical gun that was used by pirates when they attacked merchant ships to rob them of their loot.

The geographical areas (the seas) in which the pirates acted were the Caribbean Sea, the area of the Strait of Gibraltar, Madagascar, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the South China Sea. It is said that it was in the latter that there was the highest number of pirates, as well as the most feared, due to the atrocities for which they were responsible during attacks on ships.

One of the fundamental rules of pirates was to oblige the entire "crew" to always keep their weapons ready and clean. When pirates were captured, they were not imprisoned, but were immediately executed, usually by hanging.

The gun, one of a kind, stands out for the fine type of wood used and for the attention to detail in the decorations.

This beautiful replica of an 18th-century pirate blunderbuss is made of resin and metal to guarantee its durability. Its trigger and hammer are made of metal, and its butt plate and the rest of the body are made from resin.

This type of gun was barrel-loaded and can be considered the predecessor of the shotgun. Unlike other weapons, this blunderbuss had the possibility of firing at several targets and could therefore be loaded with smaller pellets and, in turn, fire more than one projectile. Widely used in close-range battles such as naval battles.

The use of the Powder Horn goes back to the Middle Ages where they were used to carry gunpowder for early firearms. As firearms became more common during the Renaissance and later periods, so too did the use of the powder horn. They were mainly used for pistols and muskets but would also be used for the priming of large naval guns. The use of animal horn along with nonferrous metal parts ensured that the powder would not be detonated during storage and loading. It was not unknown for soldiers to polish the inside and outside of the horn to make them translucent enough to see how much powder they had left. Powder Horns were usually filled from the top and dispensed powder from the narrow point.

A working powder horn based on a historical design. Constructed from real horn (a by-product of the meat trade) with a working brass valve. The wooden lid is tacked into place and cannot be removed. It is possible to fill this horn with liquid by unscrewing the valve. It is designed for ornamental use only.
