This is another accessory that isn't really necessary, although we understand if you want one anyway. Just be aware that gun laws vary from state to state. Obviously, you need training and a license to use a working gun, but did you know that some states also prohibit the carrying of realistic-looking fake guns? The plastic guns in our Low Cost section below should let you work around this restriction.

MEDIUM COST

There's a number of relatively inexpensive flintlock blunderbuss replicas on the market. This is the type of gun Jack uses. The replicas are "non-firing". Although they're not exact matches, few people will know the difference. You can find them at these retailers:

Replica Guns & Swords Store

LRP Store

Swords Of Honor

Arrow Gift Shop

Weapons Emporium

Aurora History Boutique

Cannon-Mania

Captains Cove


EXPENSIVE

Disney has licensed a limited edition replica of Jack's gun. It comes mounted on a plaque, but can probably be removed for use as a prop if you don't mind devaluing your investment:

The Saber Vault

Fireside Collectibles

Strongblade

Xscapes

Hot Movie Props

I Love Swords

Entertainment Earth


COLLECTORS & REENACTORS ONLY

Up until this point, the guns mentioned have been non-firing. If you'd like your weapon to do double-duty as a tool for certain types of historical renactments, these will be more your speed:

Lastly, if a reproduction just won't do, and you want a working 18th century blunderbuss, dig deep into that fat wallet and click on these links:
