      What a crazy specific use case!

      The right flintlock is specifically for lighting the lantern and the left for shooting. I wonder if they scavenged parts from a dual barrel flintlock.

      The extra pictures are helpful to understand how it works; I was a little confused myself because it didn’t look anything like a lantern.

    Time to Picatinny rail this shit and mount this lantern to an AR-15 platform.

    Instead of spending all skill-points to the tactical light, the owner should have been max-out the barrel modifications to gun all enemies down at once, even in the dark.

    One striker to light the lantern - I guess it’s black powder powered, would give you 3 seconds of light and a big fluffy cloud of stinky soot. Another striker is to actually fire, if you can aim through the soot cloud. Genius!

      Might have a priming charge of blackpowder to light it, but it’s probably oil in the lantern.

      EDIT: Page suggests it might be a candle
