I feel like there's a decent chance that a pistol will not avail him, given how many arcane layers of Mary Sue are protecting that shop at any given time...
@mahtan:
Strictly speaking almost everything in this is way past medieval (as is the case in most of these stories!). Like, for reference, in a European setting,
tea should only
first appear only near the very
end of the Renaissance (way past medieval) at which point we'd have...
*quick google search* flintlock muskets at the very least. (Early revolvers weren't 'till much later, of course, that would put us in the mid-1800's at earliest. Which is... actually vaguely plausible, for the limited stuff we've been shown, if all the industrial-revolution bits were merely off-screen, and all that, I suppose. But for instance we've had characters with bow-ties and that wouldn't have happened 'till the 1800's either, if we assume parallel fashion.)
Of course the
much more likely explaination is "it's fantasy land" and the author just grabbed whatever they want from whatever time period XD My point was more that there's really nothing here that's medieval, and we've seen plenty of stuff that actually post-dates the pistol.
@Dragontrainer: I mean, again, almost none of these stories really pay attention to what time period they're emulating. Which is fine—fantasy land and all that jazz, but I'm hesitant to take anything away from the presence of a pistol beyond, "they have pistols". XD
