The flintlock pistol was a pistol that was scrapped during the early days of development of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The pistol would be used to defend the player (much like the bow and arrow) to kill off the monsters, but the item was scrapped. The reason for it wasn't officially know, but it's probably because the Frictional Games developers had decided to make Daniel a non-offensive protagonist, to increase the feeling of fear when players cannot kill he monsters, and must always avoid them.
Similar weapons, gun and Shotgun make appearance in Amnesia: The Bunker, making them first items to be used offensively (officially).
Trivia[]
In the real world, the flintlock pistol was one of the earliest firearms to be made. They were used most famously during the days of piracy.[citation needed]
The downfall with the flintlock and the musket is due to its slow reloading time and having to put the powder into the barrel along with the ball bearing bullet which can prove problematic in a battle.[citation needed]
