Description[]
These pair of pistols were used in the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. It was made by a well known gunsmith firm called Wodgon & Barton.
Origin[]
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had a duel On July 11, 1804 which Alexander was mortally wounded by Burr after he misses.
Effects[]
Activates when two different people each hold a pistol at the same time. Neither person even has to be in the same vicinity, merely one wielding each. Those two will involuntarily find themselves pulled into a duel scenario, as if the muzzles are controlling them to take the shot . They cannot be disarmed until one of the two pistols fires. The shots fired must harm or kill their opponent to valid. If one of the holders delope (shooting to the ground instead) or misses, the other pistol would automatically fire which would result in death for one of the holders.
