However, the crewmember who instigated the mutiny, who has been hiding, takes advantage of the distraction and shoots Captain Raphael Adolini in the back. Running into the fray to grab the treasure chest, the mutineer also shoots Greyback in the leg, and takes off. With the ship in his sights, the mutineer thinks he has escaped, but Greyback uses his plasma caster to shoot him in the back, like the mutineer did his own captain.
The latest update sees the Predator Elder class as an unlockable once you reach level And the flintlock is a hidden trophy found in the field crates that you can decorate your Predator character with. I agree there is soo much potential for a Predator period piece.
This was always one of my favorite stories put out by Darkhorse. It would have been awesome to see a trilogy of films or even a TV series set during preth century Earth. I always hoped they would do a Predator film based on pirates and this gun. The Predators instead simply departed with their fallen comrade, and one of them even handed Harrigan the flintlock pistol as a trophy, telling him, "Take it.
The inscription on the pistol also informed Harrigan that the Predators had already come to Earth long ago, and would undoubtedly do so again. This edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:.

For the moment. Tweet Clean. According to a comic released in called Predator: , that pistol originally belong to a pirate captain called Raphael Adolini who at one point, met the same Predator Glover did and gave it to him as a gift. According to that same comic, the Predator had deemed Adolini to be a worthy opponent after watching him stab his way across the West Indies and had planned on challenging him to a fist fight.
Why the creature with a shoulder mounted death cannon felt a pirate with a flintlock pistol was a worthy foe is never explained, but we can assume that Adolini must have done something unthinkably badass off panel to impress it. When the Predator sees that Adolini is about to be stabbed like 80 times in the face and torso by his cowardly crew. That is what we say in Australia, when you say "math", that sounds as ridiculous as "anyways". I agree on part 2 being a let down though.
As am I. I would try for American but "caint talk proper". Sorry for the delay - I got caught in that thing called life The "next" movie was to be a throw back to and was about a pirate who's name is engraved on the pistol and an alien duking it out. The end of the movie was to show the pirate - mortally wounded by a fellow shipmate - giving his pistol to the alien in a gesture of respect and he says the words - "Take it" The alien is "Greyback" and is the same aged alien that gives the pistol to the cop Danny Glover some years later with the same respect for a fellow hunter.
The script did make it to a comic book script but because of the lack of ticket sales for Predator 2 - the movie was never made. The gun in question was a movie prop supposedly a real gun that had been modified for the movie.
The flintlock pistol was reported to have been repurposed again to another movie and it's current whereabouts is unknown. The stop frame pictures I got were not very good, but it seems the gun itself was a pretty nice piece.

From the shape of the top jaw of the hammer, it looks like a Patilla "miquelet" pistol. The Patilla "miquelet" lock had an incredibly fascinating and long history, as well as a period of use. The Spanish developed the lock in the late 16th century and it was in use by the early 17th century.
This style of lock was developed about the same time in Italy as well, due to interactions with the Spanish, but the Italian version had some stylistic differences.
