Percussion Cap Pistols

This type of muzzle-loader works by pouring powder down the barrel, then adding a lead ball to the muzzle. Use the ramrod to push the ball to the bottom of the barrel. Pull the hammer to half-cock to expose the cone, and place a percussion cap onto the cone. Pull the hammer into full cock, aim, and fire.

Open the breech, insert the cartridge, close the breech, pull back the hammer, aim and fire.
