Paltik
Paltik is a
Negros, Leyte, and Mindanao. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front were also known to produce paltik but were unable to upscale their production due to government pressure.[8]
The paltik suffered from poor accuracy and low quality firing mechanisms. Some lacked
Filipino gunsmiths however, did make reliable percussion cap
rifles that functioned in a manner similar to a 19th-century musket.
Paltiks are still being illegally manufactured in the Philippines today. These were being registered during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, but this "legalization" was revoked and all registered paltiks had to be surrendered to the government.[10] President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Executive Order No. 171 in 2003 which prohibits paltiks from being licensed.[11]
