Just putting this out there,
While like pentrating force or technological differences in terms of various cartridge types, percussion pistols (specifically dueling pistols) could be as leathal as a .45 ACP (M1911 Colt's, a semi automatic pistol fires these). Coupling the fact that it's just sheer compact trauma from a lead ball, getting shot is no joke, nt even something you would find easy to deflect or block with a sword/weapon as... ludicrous as the concept would be in general.
