.50 Inline Muzzleloading Pistol fail
I have been waiting for a muzzleloading pistol for quite some time even suggesting it. In the Stream it was used on deer. Now it is out and is only cleared for big animals? I had expected a similar list like the rifle. This list kills my desire to buy one, unfortunately.
In my eyes a missed opportunity by EW.

Re: .50 Inline Muzzleloading Pistol fail
In the stream they talked about this
There is a good chance it will have the same species range as the .50 cal Muzzleloader rifle.
It was on a Beta server, so there is a chance the species will be adjusted since then

If they relase a saboted .45 to put in it then no problem with medium game. I shot a WaterBuff at 40m and it was quite good. Nice addition. Just got a Polar Bear at 50m in the lungs with ease.

Re: .50 Inline Muzzleloading Pistol fail
Im happy to support EW with my money but being a hard core muzzleloader in real life I will have to pass on this one. I wont buy the inline ML thats already in the store either. It goes against my religion
A composite stocked, stainless steel barreled, 209 primed optical sighted rifle/pistol firing a compressed pellet charge behind a copper jacketed, plastic saboted bullet IS NOT a REAL muzzleloader! The whole purpose for the season that spawned that crop of abominations was for hunters to do traditional hunting! There is absolutely nothing tradition about a miscreant such as that!
Now if EW were to come out with something like this I would be standing in line to give them my money!
Sure in game terms the pistol pictured above & the new inline would no doubt function identically but I am also sure you would all agree that we cultivate personas with our online characters & I am sorry to say mine would not carry that inline pistol!

I'm SO with you on this one! I too had hoped that the muzzleloaded pistol would be a similar to the one you've pictured.SoftShoe wrote:Im happy to support EW with my money but being a hard core muzzleloader in real life I will have to pass on this one.

My inner historian died when it saw that it was a modern inline gun
Still, I bought it with the hopes that they'll eventually develop a PROPER muzzleloaded pistol in the not too distant future.

It does not use a Sabot, description says "...is loaded with a .50 lead bullet for big game hunting."SoftShoe wrote:Im happy to support EW with my money but being a hard core muzzleloader in real life I will have to pass on this one.

Re: .50 Inline Muzzleloading Pistol fail
Yeap, I also think those are meant to be a full bore, .50 cal. lead (not jacketed) projectiles. From the pesrspective of accuracy and external ballistics, those are probably better than "historical", rounded ammo. So I'm fine with the ammo, actualy.
But when it comes to look, I have to admitt, I would prefer something realy classic, historicaly accurate too.
From other hand - I don't say one can not hunt IRL with handguns. I suppose this is perfectly doable, wherever and whenever it is legal. But somehow it is hard for me to see a handgun as main hunting weapon. I consider them as sidearms - mostly for selfdefence situations and for coup de grace shots of already wounded animals, to shorten their suffering. So I somehow lack of inner conviction to buy any pistol in the game, becasue main weapon serve good enough for selfdefence in most situations.
But when I'll have spare money again, I plan to buy .50 cal. muzzleloaded rifle one day. (however I admitt, I would prefer those new projectiles, even if those original are more true to history ).

Re: .50 Inline Muzzleloading Pistol fail
Ill buy that abomination later and take my inline with it wearing my trapper outfit, outback boots, my orange backpack and sunglasses hahahaha seems legit
Maybe ill get some fun out of it again. Havent really actively played for a while. Lets hope i get something special in front of it , after what feels like an eternity of nothing , maybe that will ignite my fire again.
