Our weapons

Weapons are obviously a grand part of our scoundreling lifestyle, but movies make me hearties look to simple. We seem like we can only use our cutlass, pistol, and the cannons on our ship, argh but there was more than that. Cutlasses, for ye who havent had their feet wet yet, are a little heavy, curved, and sharp one one side. Me cutlass has helped me many adventures before, as it has me ancestors. Ye see, us pirates like fighting very much, and since all the coats fight in a predictable way, we like to fight back... maybe a little dirty (jeje). Pistols are great, espesially for captains like me self, that can afford the triple barral hand cannons that can shoot three times without needing to reload, which takes a while. And cannons, well... they make big boom :D jeje. Of course, we have other weapons to choose from. Some of us are a little cowerdly and like using fist shields, which is pretty much brass knuckles, but it cover ye fist like a shield. Me remembers me first day with a blunderbuss... the "thunder gun" as it were. this was a giant of a gun that always had to be held against yer hip, or anywere else that might be able to handle the recoil. Of course, being pirates, no one decided to tell me that the first time, so me ended up breaking me wrist and me arm.. So next time you see a movie with only swords and pistols, yell have ye wits about.
