The Blunderbuss is a ranged weapon added by Balkon's Weapon Mod. It is less advanced than the musket, but more advanced than the bow with a standard arrow. However, it is the most powerful short-range non-melee weapon.
The blunderbuss is a decent firearm, but has a few drawbacks compared to the bow and musket. The bow shoots much faster and the musket does more damage. On the other hand, the blunderbuss fires a scattershot like a shotgun, making it VERY deadly at close range. However, attacking very dangerous mobs with a blunderbuss is not advisable, as this range will probably not give you an opportunity to back off and reload before being hit, and has a small chance of back-fireing during high usage. On the upside, shots are cheaper to make than the musket rounds, and the blunderbuss reloads faster.

Gun Shot[]
Blunderbuss shots are relatively inexpensive to manufacture compared to musket rounds, as they use common gravel instead of iron ingots for the projectile.
