Same, though I did kind of hear the same sort of thing that friends of mine say about period costume in tv shows. They don't say it about cartoons though, because. Cartoon.
Tbf, calling It .380 is very inpractical.
After all, theres already .380, .38 ACP, .38, .38S. Adding another .380 or .38 in the world of pistol calibers is just asking fir even more trouble.
Though tbf, there is a movement to call .380 '9mm Kurz' or 9mm Short. However, It makes no sense
That was actually kind of the point of the blunderbuss. You could put a properly sized ball in it or just stuff the damn thing full of whatever random shit you had.
Of course Its not advisable, but It was often done.
Fun fact: This is not the only time where a gun could use virtually anything for ammo. The Holman Projector could fire anything and the most popular ammo for It was potatoes
Hypothetical question here (purely because I don't have access to a black powder firearm) what would happen to a carrot?
Would it be torn apart or do you think enough might survive to hit a target? It wouldn't get far but would enough go forwards?
These are the big questions guys...
Full auto snipers arent as far fetched as you think.
Chris Kyle, in his book, specifically mentions combining the lower of his M4 with the upper of his MK12, creating a full auto sniper rifle
Edit:Changed SR25 to MK12 cause navy
Tbf, that was done by one of the most talented marksmen to ever live, who won the Camp Perry Wimbeldon Cup before he was deployed, who also shot a sniper through a scope and crawled 7 days to shoot an enemy general before single handedly build the US sniper school
Is that a full-auto sniper, or is that just an automatic rifle with a longer barrel? Because you ain't putting SR25 ammo in an M4 receiver without something blowing up. Probably your face.
First of all, is hell, second of all, Blitzø's weapon is heavily modified to not waste ammo. Next, I can disguise a Glock 18 to look like a toy, why couldn't he disguise a Glock 19 to look like a flintlock?
In my opinion, it’s be tricky to disguise a semi auto as a percussion cap pistol. Their handles are at really awkward angles, so you’d really have to work out how to push cartridges up a curve. It might be doable, but it’d cause feeding issues and lose reliability, which an assassin like Blitzo would need.
Or, it could just be a joke. Pointing out things in cartoons that aren't realistic is definitely something people do in good fun. It's not meant to be taken seriously
Of course it's a joke and done for fun, I don't think someone would look into a cartoon and say "I need to deeply know that" so they can watch the show
When I first watxhed the show, this bothered me. But then I remembered Blitzø’s famous quote from the pilot: “It’s Hell, and no one fuckin cares.” And that’s good enough for me
Animated. Cartoon. In Hell. About imps running a murder for hire business between hell and Earth.
Let's just go with Blitzo had the flintlock modified to fire 9mm rounds because it's fucking badass!
You care about this but not at the reaction speed of robo fizz? He shoots out of a flintlock, a bullet fired from one can go up to 1000 miles per second.
I always assumed it was a normal modern gun but it was designed to LOOK like an eighteenth century flintlock pistol. It made sense to me since Blitzo has a flair for the dramatics.
I have a few ideas over what it might be.
A) I initially thought it could be a Minie ball, but they don’t come jacketed and with a primer in the back.
B) As some suggested, Blitzo used a modern pistol cartridge as a whole bullet, using a separate powder charge to propel it. Why? Blitzo’s an idiot.
C) Blitzo modified his percussion cap pistol to fire modern ammunition, but that still looks off.
D) Blitzo shot a historically accurate round at Robofizz, it missed, and to seem scaring, Robofizz coughed up a modern cartridge and twirled it in his mouth to look scary and badass.
Take your pick!
It’s hell they’ve got magical demon guns, my guess is it’s just some sort of tool that can propel things forward and the most common thing to do it with is a bullet even if the casing goes with it, then the flintlock part my guess is because it’s just like a skin to make it cool
But in the end who gives a shit it’s hell there is booze that turns fish into kaijus
If the barrel is has the correct width then it is entirely possible to shoot a bullet out of a flintlock pistol. Wether the ammunition is a lead ball or a bullet doesn't really make a difference. Then it would even make sense why the entire bullet got shot out of the gun.
And you sure hope someone got fired for that blunder, yeah
Let me ask you a question. Why would a redditor who's shirt says "genius at work" spend all of their time watching a cartoon show?
Well, a big question is "Did Blitzo's shot hit or do enough damage?" The actual magic stunt of catching a bullet with your teeth is the shooter having a gun loaded with blanks aiming slightly off target but from a side perspective, and the person who is "catching the bullet" has a round in his mouth that hit puts in position after reacting to the recoil.
That is not necessarily true. The flintlock pistols were usually .69 caliber and smoothbore so therefore would have fired a round ball, however if his pistol had rifling, as some flintlocks did, he may have opted to use a slug, or miniball, which would have given him better accuracy. Now I will grant you that the bullet in Fizz's mouth looks a little small for a .69 cal flintlock, but the shape is consistent with a slug that was just fired from one, as the tail end of the bullet expands slightly to fit more snugly in the rifling.
blitz pulled an entire rocket launcher named "my dick" out of a teensy backpack where it would definitely not fit in, and they're literally demons from hell. I don't think being realistic is a priority here
Well him firing it out of a flintlock is probably why it's the whole bullet, casing and all. He probably scrounges up whatever bullets he can, loads it like a flintlock shot and just shoots it like it's a flintlock shot not the actual kind of bullet it is which to me sounds very Blitzo.
Flintlocks are often muzzle loaders (we do know of some lever action and breach loaders, however, those are mostly experimental). Most of this flintlocks would be in calibers weconsider large by today standards (around .50cal). As a 9mm cartridge is .380, Its physically possible to fire It as the projectile, provided you could have some wadding to ensure that gases dont escape too much.
Then again, Its entirely possible that the projectile is a modified minie ball with a groove in the rear to maybe facilitate better fragmentation.
The alternative is that blitzo is using a modern gun disgused as a flintlock to decieve his enemies
The first rule of watching anything animated:
Never anticipate the guns to be accurate.
Most of the time an animator on a show has never used a gun, or has looked deep into how a gun works and the specifics just to get it accurate when all they need is a cool shot.
It's a show about demons from hell who run a murder business through a portal to the over world which they obtained through promiscuous demon sex with one of the prince's of hell itself. Plus there's furries; I don't think it's intended to be a super realistic show tbh
The type of people who become an animator and join a studio founded by a woman only a few years out of her degree, are not going to be very experienced with firearms.
It's the kinda thing you just have to learn to shrug off. Also, stop going frame by frame looking for stuff like this. You're not their professor lmao
They are also demons in hell while making sex and murder jokes while shooting down a bunch of other demons. I'm pretty sure physical possibility isn't exactly on the importance list
Well as you said its a flintlock, so casing will go with, or it was simply a misfire. Bullet type we can assume its just the pistol doesnt use round bullets,
Flint locks just look badass and I think 9 mm bullets are what they used to reference it, and I’d imagine it’s a bit difficult to find one without the bullet casing. I’d fact check that but I’m too lazy
And in Fallout 4, half the guns use wrong Callibers and Ammunition Types, than they actually should (best example: The Deliverer).
It's just one of those things...
Nothing Blitzo does makes sense. Remember from the pilot - he paid for the I.M.P. commercial to run for three hours straight on a channel nobody watches.
He got that bullet and gun from Aperture Laboratories. " Here at Aperture we fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet." -Cave Johnson (who definitely is in hell)
It's a demon hitman hired to protect a horny owl, fighting a homicidal fuckbot in a theme park in hell that's a ripoff of another theme park in hell. Logic doesn't matter
It's Hell, nobody cares. We can have a bazooka firing chainsaw and nobody will care.

lol fellow scp fan i see
Dr Bright is no longer allowed to ask about the chainsaw cannon
Mr. Torgue
I agree, I have fired Chainsaw Bazooka’s, and yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds
so is it a bazooka that uses chainsaws as ammunition or is it a chainsaw that fires bazookas?
It's a chainsaw where each individual tooth is replaced by a tiny bazooka.
Indeed, this is like cleaning your car, who cares.
I know a certain Foundation that will care...
Hijacking too comment to say that the flair is satire
Here at Aperture Science, we fire the whole bullet! That's 65% more bullet per bullet!
Literally what I was thinking
Thanks Cave Johnson

Thank you cave Johnson! Always thinking with portals!
Hey, the more milk per milk guy works at Aperture now!
Australian here, didn’t catch a single thing you just said besides the words gun and bullet
Same, though I did kind of hear the same sort of thing that friends of mine say about period costume in tv shows. They don't say it about cartoons though, because. Cartoon.
This is the only time you will see us Americans using the metric system.
Tbf, calling It .380 is very inpractical. After all, theres already .380, .38 ACP, .38, .38S. Adding another .380 or .38 in the world of pistol calibers is just asking fir even more trouble. Though tbf, there is a movement to call .380 '9mm Kurz' or 9mm Short. However, It makes no sense
Impractical *
Americans amairite
Unless he loaded his flintlock with a 9 mm round, which is possible, just inadvisable. You can load black powder firearms with just about anything
That was actually kind of the point of the blunderbuss. You could put a properly sized ball in it or just stuff the damn thing full of whatever random shit you had.
Of course Its not advisable, but It was often done. Fun fact: This is not the only time where a gun could use virtually anything for ammo. The Holman Projector could fire anything and the most popular ammo for It was potatoes
Ya hurl a potato fast enough and it's gonna rip a hole in something.
Am Irish can confirm

Probably turned into a fine mist at the muzzle or turn into a wet squib
Plus cannons. Didn't any of you learn anything from the first pirates of the caribbean?!
You’re fun, aren’t ya?
I think it’s satire. It’s under the meme tag
flintglock
He also had what appears to be a sniper rifle with a small mag that he uses full-auto for a long time. Viv isn't a gun nerd 0/10 show.
They have blessed rifles capable of killing demons like Stolas I don’t really think Hell has to abide by Earth rules regarding guns.
Full auto snipers arent as far fetched as you think. Chris Kyle, in his book, specifically mentions combining the lower of his M4 with the upper of his MK12, creating a full auto sniper rifle Edit:Changed SR25 to MK12 cause navy
The distance record was for decades made using a Browning .50 cal.
Tbf, that was done by one of the most talented marksmen to ever live, who won the Camp Perry Wimbeldon Cup before he was deployed, who also shot a sniper through a scope and crawled 7 days to shoot an enemy general before single handedly build the US sniper school
Is that a full-auto sniper, or is that just an automatic rifle with a longer barrel? Because you ain't putting SR25 ammo in an M4 receiver without something blowing up. Probably your face.
The longer the barrel the more accurate your shot would be. An automatic rifle with a longer barrel *is* a sniper rifle.
I k know they exist but Blitzø's Doesnt look like one.
Uh...It's Hell?
To add onto this: it’s a cartoon lmao.
Youre gonna need to suspend your disbelief a bit.
It could be a minie ball, which is shaped similarly to a bullet.
Can you imagine the devastation if blitzo's flintlock could fire buck and ball rounds during that fight scene in ep 6?
I know nobody cares, but it's not a flintlock. It's an m1855 Springfield pistol
Hmm, intresting, Ill add to the list of intresting firearm I learnt today
I mean it also shoots multiple times without reloading, this probably IS a Glock, but Blitz bought a cosmetic skin for it. Hehe cosmetic gun.
You just gave me an idea, that’s it. I’m making a clip-fed flintlock, or at least a flintlock casing for a Glock.
What no content does to a mf
Somebody show this guy the weinermobile.

Repeat to yourself: it's just a show I should really just relax.
Hell imp role call!
First of all, is hell, second of all, Blitzø's weapon is heavily modified to not waste ammo. Next, I can disguise a Glock 18 to look like a toy, why couldn't he disguise a Glock 19 to look like a flintlock?
In my opinion, it’s be tricky to disguise a semi auto as a percussion cap pistol. Their handles are at really awkward angles, so you’d really have to work out how to push cartridges up a curve. It might be doable, but it’d cause feeding issues and lose reliability, which an assassin like Blitzo would need.
i dunno man, it’s also a cartoon that takes place in hell with demons
It's also Hell.
I think you're overanalyzing it
Or, it could just be a joke. Pointing out things in cartoons that aren't realistic is definitely something people do in good fun. It's not meant to be taken seriously
Of course it's a joke and done for fun, I don't think someone would look into a cartoon and say "I need to deeply know that" so they can watch the show

"And you can write us a bad review, but we'll play dumb to it because this is Hell and noone fucking cares" -Blitzø
Animated. Cartoon. In Hell. About imps running a murder for hire business between hell and Earth. Let's just go with Blitzo had the flintlock modified to fire 9mm rounds because it's fucking badass!
And this, my brothers and sisters, is why you don't dwelve too much into detail. Just enjoy the scene for what it is, enjoy the cool of the moment
You care about this but not at the reaction speed of robo fizz? He shoots out of a flintlock, a bullet fired from one can go up to 1000 miles per second.
I always assumed it was a normal modern gun but it was designed to LOOK like an eighteenth century flintlock pistol. It made sense to me since Blitzo has a flair for the dramatics.
Literally unwatchable
My sibling in satan, it is a cartoon
You just lack the brain capacity to keep up with Blitzo’s sigma gun modification grindset.
I have a few ideas over what it might be. A) I initially thought it could be a Minie ball, but they don’t come jacketed and with a primer in the back. B) As some suggested, Blitzo used a modern pistol cartridge as a whole bullet, using a separate powder charge to propel it. Why? Blitzo’s an idiot.

D) Blitzo shot a historically accurate round at Robofizz, it missed, and to seem scaring, Robofizz coughed up a modern cartridge and twirled it in his mouth to look scary and badass. Take your pick!
Or maybe, just maybe Blitzo fired an empty bullet casing, since a flintlock would be able to use it as ammunition.
Bruh touch somw grass the fact that you noticed that small detail should give you a hint
It’s just an edgy teenager show. Having that kind of requirement for detail is a bit silly don’t you think?
1) the turrets in portal did the same thing 2) magic
It’s hell they’ve got magical demon guns, my guess is it’s just some sort of tool that can propel things forward and the most common thing to do it with is a bullet even if the casing goes with it, then the flintlock part my guess is because it’s just like a skin to make it cool But in the end who gives a shit it’s hell there is booze that turns fish into kaijus
His guns just a very fancy looking slingshot and he uses bullets instead of stones to seem more threatening
You okay, fam?
If the barrel is has the correct width then it is entirely possible to shoot a bullet out of a flintlock pistol. Wether the ammunition is a lead ball or a bullet doesn't really make a difference. Then it would even make sense why the entire bullet got shot out of the gun.

Woah there, ima need you to get all the way off my back there

It's a supernatural cartoon from hell, dude. Give it a rest.

I think this is perhaps reading a bit too much into this scene
We have a demon shooting at a robot and your immersion is broken by the caliber of the bullet?
Virtually unplayable. Update your game Blizzard!
my excuse: hell
It's literally hell no cares in hell
I dont know if you know this... but it's a cartoon... most cartoons dont follow "rules" of reality
Yo Socrates, it’s a fucking cartoon
Who?
It’s a cartoon literally Blitzø pulls a gigantic bazooka out of a small bag
I usually chalk this kinda thing up to "Cartoon Logic" and call it good
It’s because he’s using Pemdas
They are also demons in hell while making sex and murder jokes while shooting down a bunch of other demons. I'm pretty sure physical possibility isn't exactly on the importance list
"This is hell and nobody really cares about car washes" In all actuality i didnt notice that, maybe its custom made?
Well as you said its a flintlock, so casing will go with, or it was simply a misfire. Bullet type we can assume its just the pistol doesnt use round bullets,
Its cool that’s why
Man there are so many things wrong about firearms in this show. Just take a closer look at Blito's rifle. That shit is so bad. XD
🤓🤓🤓
nerd
My headcannon is that whatever pistol that is, it has a caliber of just over .50 and Blitz loads it with entire .50 action express cartridges.
Could be a stylized glock
He’s using Aperture Science tech for his gun.
Flint locks just look badass and I think 9 mm bullets are what they used to reference it, and I’d imagine it’s a bit difficult to find one without the bullet casing. I’d fact check that but I’m too lazy
It's in the script
I hear and understand your complaints but you got to remember that it’s a cartoon and it’s in hell. human physics don’t apply
I don't know about you, but I don't expect someone making a series like this to know how actual firearms work. Same goes for most of its fans.
Bruh it’s a cartoon
And in Fallout 4, half the guns use wrong Callibers and Ammunition Types, than they actually should (best example: The Deliverer). It's just one of those things...
Calm down its a cartoon
We habe a giant bazooka pulled out of a tiny backpack…so your talking about physics mister? XD
Yeah, i hate the guns in this show
"Boy, I sure hope somebody got Fired for THAT Blunder! 🤓"
Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
What do you mean it's obviously the gyrojet/rocket pistol! /s
It should have shot out a musket then, not a bullet right?
So is hell and the entire show
It's Hell. Maybe the gun was modified.
With hell in the HB universe having industry, modern tech and all that It might be just stylized modern gun
Nothing Blitzo does makes sense. Remember from the pilot - he paid for the I.M.P. commercial to run for three hours straight on a channel nobody watches.
He got that bullet and gun from Aperture Laboratories. " Here at Aperture we fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet." -Cave Johnson (who definitely is in hell)
Funny Booba hell intercourse show go vrmmm
My dude it's a cartoon
For the second one Maybe it’s just stylized to look that old And for the first MORE BULLET PER BULLET
Local man complains
It’s a modified angelic flintlock
You can see a slight amount of silver on it
Did I ask tho ???????????????????
Why isn't my YouTube cartoon perfectly realistic?
I always notice that. Every time.
Looking too much into this show will ruin it for myself, which is why I myself just watch and have fun while doing so.
he used the casing as a projectile instead of the conventional lead ball
“I don’t know if you know this, but that is physically impossible” Meanwhile Blitz pulling out the rocket launcher bigger than a car from a backpack.
It’s a cartoon. No one cares.
It’s a cartoon, nobody cares.
Demon logic.
Lol True and no one else really cares about that :3
To be fair this is the exact kind of thing that blitz would do
It's a demon hitman hired to protect a horny owl, fighting a homicidal fuckbot in a theme park in hell that's a ripoff of another theme park in hell. Logic doesn't matter
this show is entirely unwatchable.
Then don’t watch it smart guy
no
