Items like this were usually meant as advertisement for the smith that made them, not intended for more than occasional use.

Love the early age of "Who the fuck knows if the thing will shoot? Might as well put a blade on it" firearms.

Also even if it does shoot, it's single shot so if you miss, the guy lives or there's another guy you'll need a backup option anyway.
