The pistol obviously shouldn't be a sniping weapon but for it to miss a perfectly aimed shot at anything 10 feet away or less is ridiculous. And it should be a one hit kill at close quarters but should lose it's power and accuracy drastically faster than muskets or carbines. So basically, if I press the muzzle of my pistol to your back and blow your chest out, you should probably be dead. Just saying. Cavalry pistols I believe should also be more powerful but have way less accuracy and range because they were described as "large bore, short barreled weapons" meaning there's a big ass ball it just couldn't hit the broad side of Honey Boo Boo past 10 feet. So basically it should be more powerful but at shorter ranges and should have less accuracy than infantry pistols.
