Pistol
Use this basic Range Weapon on opponents who won't come close enough for you to hit them with your Cutlass. Practice with Jack the Monkey to sharpen your marksmanship.

Game Tip: Most enemies will follow you, so move backwards as you shoot, keeping your target within the red target area. This is especially handy when you have only a one– or two–shot pistol.

Remember the Pirate Code
The Pirate Code strictly states that pistols may only be used against the undead (Jolly Roger's Skeletons as well as those unholy creatures he has cursed), and must never be used against people –– be they other Pirates, townsfolk, the Royal Navy, or the East India Trading Company Black Guard.
- Not surprisingly, there is an exception to this rule. Pirates become undead during Pirate versus Pirate (PVP) skirmishes. At these times, feel free to blast away all you like.

Game Tip: You can shoot Crabs with your pistol when they are in the water. Walk into the surf, and if you see a Crab underwater, start shooting. You'll lure them out onto land where you can attack them best.
