When distinguished as a subset of handguns, a pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel, as opposed to a revolver, wherein the chamber is separate from the barrel as a revolving cylinder. Typically, pistols have an effective range of about 100 feet.
There are two possible origins of the name pistol. According to the first one, the word pistol is derived from Czech. The hussite warriors introduced guns called píšťala in the 1420s. Germans called them pitschale, pitschole, petsole and so on. Later German raiders brought the guns as well as the name to France, were they were known by terms pistole and pistolet.
According to an alternative source, the word "pistol" is derived from the French word pistole or pistolet, which may have originated from the city of Pistoia, Italy where hand-held guns (designed to be fired from horseback) were first produced in the 1540s.
You know, for a learned gentleman of the 18th century whom I'd expect to be fairly sophisticated... he sure sucked at gun safety! Just as a note, in modern day guns, some primers are defective and have a delayed reaction. I can mention one case in RL in which a crook tried to murder his victim this way, but ended up killing himself through stupidity... in EXACTLY the same way this gentleman got it.
SIr Isaac got "challenged" when i was using him to steal technology from other nations. Seeing as Sir Isaac was Illuminati, this is prolly a religious conspiracy...
Or he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time... like...right in front his 18th century gun...
@Xchaoslord i laughed my asss off wioth your comment it's so funny you must see the failed assasination og shogun 2 total war the assasin jumps and does a cannonball and dies!!!!
i spent hours and hours of playing medieval and rome (with rise of kings and the lord of the rings mod) and i wont buy this game until i am finished with my studies (or i got enough time).
meh, every duel is funny somehow, that's the whole point of the cinematics :P...
in medieval 2 a high skilled assasin could get killed by a door slam when the target entered the room...
a spy would try to enter a city camouflaged by a bush (¿?)
it's just the nature of the total war's cinematics... they are cool :D
i just don't like that in empire you can't really know which one is your gentleman until you get duel won/lost, during the cinematic you don't know which one is yours
hahahha i agree on medieval 2 when the assasin fails to lure the snake into the bed (when a mouse appears) the snake follows the mouse and the assasin get pissed off and tries to negotiate with the snake and the assasin is pointing on the target! hahahah i love total war cinematics

Basic gun safety, if it doesn't fire, don't look down the barrel. The answer is not there, but you may have an unpleasant surprise.
