Source of 'Old' Weapons?

The weapons in that animation are quite real, although I did use a computer program (GIMP) to edit out their transparent plastic stands. They were made completely from scratch (mostly from paper and white glue); here's some shots of them before they were painted:



And the finished product:



While I've made numerous guns from scratch over the years, I don't think I've ever made a flintlock pistol or arquebus. The basic shape of the gun wouldn't be too hard, but I imagine that the little hammer/striker/trigger elements might be tricky, as would engraving it if you wanted it to look fancy. I really can't think of much, other than Pirates of the Carribean, that would have that type of thing. I think that McFarlane Toys' Pirate Spawns had flintlock pistols, but they're 6-7" inch scale.

Another idea just occured to me: Considering that it's the Thanksgiving season, it's possible you might be able to find some pilgrim figurines with Blunderbusses. While that isn't exactly the type of weapon you're looking for, I imagine, if you cut off the bell-shaped end of the barrel of a Blunderbuss, the result would look something like a flintlock/matchlock weapon.

I am after 1/18th scale 3 3/4inch 95mm. POTC is indeed a good source, but as has been said loose figures usually come without them! I was hoping for a maker of accessories who did weapons for these figures for example, so that I could replace and add to those with the figures. Patraw, the twirly show is cute but I'm not clear whether the weapons are real or programmed? If real, how did you make them please?

I am particularly looking for a wheel-lock pistol and an matchlock or flintlock arquebus ...

LCBH Wraal and Conan came with some really nice weapons as well as lotr figures like patraw said.

For 6-7" figures, Pirates of the Carribean and Lord of the Rings/Hobbit figures would probably have the type of stuff you're looking for. The inherent problem is that loose figures tend to be missing said accessories, and buying the figures MOC/MIB will get expensive quickly. If you want weapons for 28 mm figurines, that's dicier. Probably the best thing to do, if you aren't good at sculpting, is to find some miniatures that do have the weapons you want, cut them off, and cast them.

Guns are a bit trickier and time-consuming to make from scratch, because they're more complex in nature, but swords and bows are relatively simple to create yourself, as their forms are fairly basic, unless you want to get fancy. By way of example, here's an assortment of animate medieval weapons (a Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance Ruler Sword), that I made from scratch:
