[Ammonition]

Hi, I am in the throes of polishing a novel I have written and I need to know if the mechanism on a frizzen in a flint lock pocket pistol is strong enough to keep the gunpowder charge contained in the pan while a combatant is caught up in the heat of a fencing duel. My thanks to anybody out there who can help me. Best wishes to you all.
