It’s a shame that most players don’t bother to actually sword fight and just use the blunderbuss since, you know, it’s the blunderbuss.
I tend to prefer sword and flintlock just because the blunder's range is too close for comfort trading off accuracy for potential damage. A skilled sword player can be quite harsh to a blunderbuss that's missed it's mark as you can get 3 to 4 good slashes in before they are reloaded and by that time many a player will go into panic mode to attempt to heal up rather than take the second shot.
