The Dragoon Pistol actually is about the same as the Sea Service Pistol. The Sea Service gun might actuall bve better ebcause it's more weighted, meaning it can be used as a bludgeoning club. That being said, the French do have a Carbine and we know how important accuracy, stopping power and reloa dtime are (which the Carbine has pretty damn well of for its time).
