17th century cavalry weapon - had wide barrel so that it would be easier to load while on horseback. Also the gun could be used to fire anything from glass, nails, to stones and dirt. Gun also used in navel warfare on strategic places of a ship to fire down at the deck of the other ship to cover a wide area, as these guns were not known for their accuracy.
