That looks like some AI pistol too. I've never seen anything resembling that style. They used to be flint style but here that doesn't exist. Barrel is way to short for its supposed age. Idk that that finger hold is either... There's so much wrong with this.

    I don't think it's AI. It's a percussion cap pistol, which is the step between flintlocks and cartridges. Barrel length seems like a normal pocket pistol length.

    There are tens of thousands of gun designs, and some of them are quite goofy.
