I would like to discuss something very important, Sup Forums.
In the 1990's NES video game, Taito's The Flintstones Rescue of Dino and Hoppy, an entry into the Hanna-Barbera opus widely hailed as the Evangelion of 1960's cartoons, there is a man hiding behind buildings and trees wielding a pistol. Why is this important? Because this single piece of canonical work proves something is not right in The Flintstones. This blows all dating out of the water and exposes us all to the idea that The Flintstones is actually a cartoon about a television show being filmed. It was not the pre-history drama comedy we've all been led to believe, it's actually a show about a show. How else would you explain a pistol in a setting where they use dinosaurs for everything? Advanced metallurgy and chemistry are needed for guns or gunpowder to be utilized this way. The Flintstones Rescue of Dino and Hoppy is a game which occurs when off-set antagonists steal the actors and real life criminals storm the set of The Flintstones.
I've included a screen shot with a blown up, outlined image of the article in question.
I thought this as well but you can clearly see there's no reload animation, he fires it with a single hand multiple times.

Flintstones are the poor people who have to live below the Jetsons. The economy is fucked in the future and it's either be rich and live in the sky, or be poor and live with rocks.

just like in the cartoon, do yourself a favor and watch the cartoon
Did you even watch the show? Guns were used throughout the series. As for why its all black. It's an nes game. Just try to make a more cartoonish gun that can replace that small sprite and fit with the character holding it.

It was a fucking NES game. There were a grand total of, what, two games where anyone actually had to do a reloading animation when they used a gun?

Pretty much this. Their entire culture mirrors the culture of the 1960s because it takes place in a world where the cold war brought about the end of the world in the mid 60s. What we see in The Flintstones is man doing their best to use what limited tools and resources they have to recreate the world the way it was before the bombs went off. The "dinosaurs" are actually mutated animals.
