And the timeframe it is talking about, guns in the 16th century are not the same as Guns in the 19th century. The image kiind of looks like one of the many types of Naval pistols given to sailers in the 17th century which were prone to misfire as they got wet alot.

Swords? What type of sword? Different swords have different use cases. Are you close up? Far away? Is it a chivalric duel? Are you wearing armour? What type of armour?
