Out of a blunderbuss? Rocks probably, if you ran out of buckshot, but probably not cutlery.

Cutlery, rocks, nails, and various other bits and pieces of random stuff were occasionally used in canister shot fired from cannons, when proper grapeshot was unavailable or had run out.

It was apparently quite deadly at close range, but due to the irregular shape of the projectiles, the shot patterns became very wide and unpredictable at longer ranges.


Oh, and +1 to the blunderbuss ingame. There should be a small (5%) chance that it fails to fire though, and would have to be re-cocked.
