I can somewhat understand that but still, literally the only reason I can think of for the characters having these weapons in such abundance is that the producers had some leftover 17th century weapons from some other series' or film's set and they just wanted to use them for something.
Oh, and it was the militia themselves that I keep seeing using the flintlocks. At first I did think that maybe they are just reserving the better guns for themselves but apparently not.
Btw. I kept laughing at that one guy in the first episode just slamming his sword into Charlie's crossbow when he could have, you know, stabbed her with it. Milita doesn't seem to actually train their soldiers in efficient use of their weaponry.
