On a side note... Flintlock pistols and Matchlock rifles are a lot more accurate than people probably thought. They aren't as accurate as the Crossbow or a regular bow from a trained archer. But they were still pretty scary to have one pointed at you.

Both of their accuracy ends at 50-60 yards, which is just on the cusp where it is hard for the human eye to aim effectively without anymore aide than iron sights.

The rifle however... you're not hitting anything at modern rifle ranges most of the time. So you're better off fighting a little closer with the weapon.

And the dragoon flintlock pistol is comparatively as accurate as a modern pistol for the ranges it is meant to be fired.
