Getting off track a little, if there was a nuclear exchange or some other total catastrophe, I would prefer to be at ground zero. In my opinion, Lyndon Johnson was right when he said "It will be a world where the living will envy the dead!"

Well put, & I agree.
In a survival firearm, a Flinter has more to offer than just shooting a bullet using manufactured or home made Black Powder, the weapon could be used to make fire as well without using up precious ammunition.
