Queen Anne Pistol (Timeless)

The Queen Anne Pistol is a uncommon weapon found in Pirate Seas, that is slow to shoot but powerful in case of headshot and will blind nearby zombies when you shoot. Its shots also have a 70% chance to go through zombie armors

Appearance and origins
It is a small pistol, with a flintlock and a wooden handle. Based on the eponymous weapon that was used by real pirates, it is however slightly different, with a barrel that easily pops out and the ammunition being a metal slug sticked to some powder.

Attack patterns
The Queen Anne Pistol shoots straight forward a small metallic bullet, producing a small explosion and a good quantity of smoke when you shoot. Closer zombies will take more damage, and will also be covered by powder traces.

Strategies
Even if its shooting speed is terrible, its ability can be great if a lot of zombies come close, as it can stop them temporarily and deal a lot of damage if you perform a headshot. With it being more efficient at close range, unaccurate players can more easily score headshots, making this weapon more useful for beginners. You can easily use this weapon against flying ennemies, that will be blind by the shot if they are nearby and thus will most likely crash into the floor and die. Concerning regular zombies, a headshot can almost kill instantly a Conehead, but with leave it alive, so remember to keep another weapon like a Cutlass to finish them off. It can also penetrate shields, making it useful to instantly kill Barrel Zombies and ignore their tanky armor, or simply Boat Wheel Pirates if you are too lazy to attack them from behind
