Because cartoon.


ivis_viny

This is honestly the answer to all the overly analyzed questions people ask in this sub, expecting Helluva Boss to truly be the great masterpiece free of flaws, perfect logic and an 100% story-driven, smart, high IQ plot. But, truthfully, it is just a cartoon.


[deleted]

You're giving me the feeling that HB fans are also Rick and Morty fans.


ivis_viny

I mean it really does feel like that sometimes.

Cartoon hell magic where teleportation and whatnot is real. Or I guess you can say it’s just styled to look old. I have seen a gun online that looks identical to a Nerf gun that the cops confiscated it. Also flintlocks are not that accurate, so it could make sense I guess.


Designer_Software_93

Good answer


DamiKolz

Finally, someone with common sense.


Xiao_Qinggui

I always figured he has a replica that takes a clip of some kind, he’s fired multiple shots from it before.


Maker_Making_Things

... Ahem..... Magazine I'll see myself out


memester230

Well technically if it was an internal magazine clips would be used


MrCheapComputers

Here we go. Gun nerds ready to kill me over magazine vs clip. Lmaoo :)


Many_Security5929

Want some popcorn


MrCheapComputers

Yes please.


Many_Security5929

Her you go 🍿


MrCheapComputers

Thx bro. Here’s some butter too. 🧈🍿


mairnX

yea like for older rifles, they use clips. you load the shots in with the clip to the internal mag, then toss away the clip. clips are superior to mags in the sense that theyre cheaper and lighter. however they are nowhere near as reliable as a magazine

Daddy_Calcolan

Yes however you wouldn't get your finger caught in a classic bolt action rifle due to it being bolt action meaning you have to move the bolt manually. However the M1 Garand uses clips differently as in they work more as magazines and you shove the whole thing into the gun. Doing this can release the catch slamming the bolt forwards leading to an injury known as "Garand thumb" (not to be confused with the youtuber of the same name). Here you are correct but you got some stuff mixed together. While they are both clips they function a bit differently. I find guns quite interesting even without having used them so I implore you to research them. Youtubers such as Brandon Herrera and Garand Thumb while they may have some political views you may or may not agree with are quite popular gun channels with lots of content. If you don't understand something I said feel free to ask for clarification. :)


nearly-evil

Or an sks


spamster545

I have seen photos of both garand thumb and sks penis. Both photos are disturbing, one more than the other.


floridachess

Good Ole M1 Garands


mairnX

yep


moistgamr

It’s internal so it would be clip


Lyca0n

Or you could load it like a volcanic pistol/lever action


moistgamr

Nah it looks too much like a flintlock pistol


[deleted]

He shoots a whole cartridge from it in the Loo Loo Land episode

luminenkettu

some really old flintlock gun had the ability to shoot 2 bullets in a burst like a second apart or some shit iirc


some_normal_guy1761

So there should be two hammers to ignite the gun powder? Or maybe a double barrel flintlock?


luminenkettu

it'd basically be double packed in the same barrel, but due to complex bullshit, one would fire, then the other would take a little bit.


Jaqulean

To my understanding, basically some time had to pass before the Gunpowder inside would go off again. *If this is sorta wrong, then let me know - it's been a while since I had to use my minimal knowledge about old guns.*


Reeceza

Maybe it uses hellish tech to create a projectale that is shot out by some sort of hell energy


TheNamesFoxy

Ah yes, Argent energy


Sea-Art-9305

I see you are man of culture as well

They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you, you will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done.


Sea-Art-9305

Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer. Tempered by the fires of Hell, his iron will remained steadfast through the passage that preys upon the weak. For he alone was the Hell Walker, the Unchained Predator, who sought retribution in all quarters, dark and light, fire and ice, in the beginning and the end, and he hunted the slaves of Doom with barbarous cruelty; for he passed through the divide as none but demon had before. And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed, and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of the Blood Temples. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the Doom Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm. he age of his reckoning was uncounted. The scribes carved his name deep in the tablets of Hell across eons, and each battle etched terror in the hearts of the demons. They knew he would come, as he always had, as he always will, to feast on the blood of the wicked. For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes, and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting. None could stand before the horde but the Doom Slayer. Despair spread before him like a plague, striking fear into the shadow-dwellers, driving them to deeper and darker pits. But from the depths of the abyss rose The Great One, a champion mightier than all who had come before. The Titan, of immeasurable power and ferocity. He strode upon the plain and faced the Doom Slayer, and a mighty battle was fought on the desolate plains. The Titan fought with the fury of the countless that had fallen at the Doom Slayer's hand, but there fell the Titan, and in his defeat the shadow horde were routed. And in his terrible rancor between worlds and through time, the Hell Walker found the wretch who shall not be named, but in his heresy was loyal to his evil cause. The wretch adorned the Doom Slayer in a mighty armor, wrought in the forges of Hell, impenetrable and unyielding. With sword and shield of adamantine strength, the Doom Slayer set to banishing all that were left unbroken by his savagery to the void. Yet as the mighty Titan fell and dread engulfed the armies of Doom, the demon priests of the Blood Temples laid a trap to capture this scourge of Hell. Insatiable, even by the vanquishing of the Great One, the Hell Walker sought prey in the tombs of the Blood Keep. And blinded by his fervor, the lure drew him in. The priests brought down the temple upon the Doom Slayer, and in his defeat entombed him in the cursed sarcophagus. The mark of the Doom Slayer was burned upon his crypt, a warning to all of Hell that the terror within must never be freed. There he lies still, and ever more, in silent suffering.

naughty alive sip spoon drab afterthought crime foolish vast pathetic *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


mairnX

DMRs technically arent required to be semi auto. by definition, they fill the gap between service rifles and dedicated sniper rifles. it is entirely plausible for his DMR to have full auto capabilities


venbrou

Every semi-auto gun is actually a full auto. The only difference is a semi-auto has a single component that disengages the trigger after it cycles (fires and loads the next round) that can only be reset by releasing the trigger. On some weapons the interrupter can be toggled with a selector switch, while others (including most civilian semi-autos) have a permanent interrupter that can only be disabled with some very illegal modifications.


mairnX

well TIL


[deleted]

It also had a bolt action


GSWoof

Bump stocks are helluva thing... I will take my leave now.


Individual-Watch-750

Semi auto cab be fired fast, it’s called pulling the trigger rapidly


Marksman08YT

That wasn't in semi auto though. He fired it in full auto, faster than a trigger finger. Also the sniper is also a bolt action which is impossible


femtransfan

custom built?


Phoeptar

This is the equivalent of storyboards, it’s just a small step up from concept art and in no way represents the final product.


Jaqulean

Just to clarify: this isn't a Storyboard. This is just a frame before being finished. They do everything by hand, and this here is just what they do before tracing it into an actual image and adding color and details.


Jurassic-Manager

Because it came from Hell. lol


SomeRandom155

Daemon magiks.


Dakotasan

He took shooting lessons on the Grand Line


Scribble05

Also the hair?!


Tackyinbention

A wig stuck on with double sided tape


Feather_Sigil

Hasn't he shot twice from his pistol in other episodes? Maybe it's designed like that.


the_combat_wombat05

majik


taishiea

perhaps his gun is made to look like a flint lock but internally works like a revolver, or maybe it is demon magic and it fires charges instead of bullets. kinda like the gun they had in Outlaw Star.


[deleted]

C’mon, you know why.


3l3ctriccurrywur5t

Sometimes I wonder. Is this what humanity has succumb too? Arguing over a pistole in a cartoon. Just let the darn Imp shoot as many bullets as he wants.


El_Dios_Calabaza

He applies TABG logic and put an extended magazine to his flintlock


Individual-Watch-750

He must have a bunch of cheerleaders wandering around


Dehnus

Sigh, we keep saying this: IT IS HELL! Nobody cares if guns don't follow your laws of physics. The gun just needs to look cool as you kill folks to "Mustang Dong!".


idiodic-genious

It really annoys me sometimes how little vivzie knows about guns... Why can't everyone AT LEAST know the *basic* history of the AK-47?


Marflow02

because who cares


idiodic-genious

The fact that i have a 0 on my upvotes is a testament to the fact that no one can understand sarcasm.


AlsiusArcticus

It's a cosmetic skin, duh


JoeGRcz

Cartoon logic. Just like how his sniper rifle in the circus was suddenly an assault rifle.


TheNamesFoxy

Because this is a cartoon, and not real life


[deleted]

Because its Cartoon and its hell gun.


3001cyberqueer

Could have double loaded it so one shot ignited the gunpowder for the other and then the gunpowder for the second shot is ignited by the hammer?


gnollcub

Maybe it just looks like a flintlock


ChaoKeeper

Knowing blitzø he said fuck logic and did it because he wanted to


memeboi123jazz

I personally think it’s just a pistol in a flintlock shell, that way it has both flash and function


stopyouveviolatedthe

Same way Hank shot 3 times from a double barrel shotgun in Madness Combat 1

SatansUnclejohn

Your wanting logic from this show

he’s just goated with the sauce and his flintlock is built different


Less-Class-9790

Demon magic


LBXZero

Blitzo has the same deal as Dante from Devil May Cry.


eelaphant

That hairdo makes me uncomfortable


Lyca0n

I assumed it was just a aesthetic. Like how mals gun in firefly is essentially a volcanic gun in appearance but actually a high capacity semi auto that chugs caseless ammo. You rarely see him reload it traditionally between shots so it's could just be rule of cool. Like how in old action movies they had next to unlimited ammo and every gun fired full auto

[Repeating flintlocks are real.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalthoff_repeater)

Two-shot Legendary Effect from Fallout


Defrosted_Ice

Bro thinks its fortnite


TheNonbinaryPhoenix

the answer is dont think about it.


[deleted]

Maybe it’s charmed or something


aaron_adams

Because it just looks like a flintlock. He likes the design, but he rapid fires it on more than one occasion.


Alpha0nion

Imp magic


techpriestyahuaa

Custom made flintlock, X) kidding yeah cartoon.


Homeless_Appletree

It's not a real flintlock pistol. It's just styled to look like one.


Emboar1995

Because hell that’s why


Accomplished_Owl_526

If it took more than one shot, he wasn’t using a Jakobs.


The_Radio_Host

Honestly, it’s kind of clear Viv and most of the team don’t really know guns very well considering the fact that most guns they use in the show are done incorrectly. I don’t really have a problem with it, though since it’s a cartoon and how their guns work isn’t really an important part of the show.


Real_Boy3

There actually were flintlocks which had internal magazines which could hold multiple shots. For example, the Lorenzoni Repeater or Kalthoff Repeater.


the-d0ct0r_63

The gun may be modified to where it can hold multiple shots in the chamber but still resembles a flintlock


KOCoyote

Short answer is cartoon logic. But, if you want the long, no-prize answer; Blitzø has an affinity for pirates, but a single-shot weapon wouldn't be super useful as an assassin. Neither would an actual flintlock pistol, since those don't pack as much of a punch as modern fireams. So, instead, he has a modified handgun made to look like a flintlock but that operates more like a high-caliber handgun. It looks like it shoots slugs instead of the metal balls a flintlock would use, since Robo-Fizz catches a bullet-shaped object and not a spherical one in his teeth.


Linkonue

Probably customized another gun to make it look like a flintlock cus he was into pirate shits


ttv_thatoneapexsweat

It shot a 9mm bullet out in ep 2 so it's anything but a flintlock


gogocrazycocoa

As an author and an artist, I have made worse mistake.


clockonwalls

Animation :p


almevo1

He got his gun from the one piece world


ItsImpfinity2008

You're questioning the gun and not the fact there's a literal demon


Maxwell_The_Spy

hasn't this been a thing since the pilot? the flintlock has always shot more than one bullet without reloading since the start if i remember correctly plus, who cares? it's a cartoon, why should it be flawless with logic when we're talking about a story with demons and horny owls?


S4PG

He's built different


[deleted]

He got the gun from John Bloodborne


[deleted]

Why does he look like he shot Alastor?


ELTHerobrine

Flintlock with a mag


awfuulfool

I think that’s a volcanic pistol, not a flintlock.


papagal826

I can't remember the scene, so don't take this as granted, but I saw him throwing the flintlock and pulling another from his suit He prob just has a lot of them and constantly replaces them just like with his phones


[deleted]

✨**Magic**✨


Quantum_laugh

Well you see, it works because it actually has a magazine that you can't see because it has the invisiwatch from tf2 strapped to it /s


Technical_Mortgage67

Flintlocks are just one handed muskets which rely on loading gunpowder in the barrel, packing it in, then loading the bullet in, so blitzo just put two bullets in


cupofsalt123

Magic


hanpark765

Yea, his gun does look like a flintlock but I imagine it to either be have modern internals or work like a break action revolver on the inside because it doesn't have the firing mechanism as an action as a flintlock or percussion cap pistol


ErebusLivingShadow

Maybe Hell weapons work on different rules. Moxxie might go on a tangent about the weapons one day.


BigManStorm

Hold on. maybe just maybe because IT'S A FUCKING CARTOON.


OxTheNightHunter

In a very improbable way, it could be a two used flintlock( even if it doesn't looks like it) there where 12 shots revolvers basically stacke 2 bullet on top of each other and having different primers for the 12 shots


bl4ck51

Because is a cartoon? Maybe 🤔


Fat_Moeny

He’s just built different


D3monskull

Clearly he made a deal with Lucifer for unlimited clip. All he has to de is fuck him for each bullet.


BrOOdish294

Perhaps it's a gun with a magazine built in the grip (like a 9mm), but Blitz wanted it to look like a Flintlock because of his love of Pirates.


ivan_furry_owo_yes

Demonic gun ??
