Black powder blunderbuss

The black powder blunderbuss is a non-automatic pistol .
==Characteristics==
The black powder blunderbuss is a percussion cap muzzleloader. Much like a flintlock pistol, the black powder blunderbuss takes .50 caliber balls as ammunition, however, it has a widened barrel. Visually, there is a bag of gunpowder that comes with the weapon and is used in the reloading animation, but reloading the gun does not use any gunpowder from the player character's inventory or C.A.M.P. The black powder blunderbuss has no modifications available.
==Variant==
* Black powder pistol - Almost visually identical to the blunderbuss, but with a higher out of range damage penalty.
* Pirate Punch - Possible quest reward from the Eviction Notice event. It is pre-configured with the two-shot, rapid reload and VATS Enhanced legendary effects.
