The word "Musketoon" is an archaic term that refers to a type of firearm that became popular in the 18th century. Although not widely used anymore, there are still a few synonyms for Musketoon that are still in use today. These include Blunderbuss, Carbine, and Short Rifle. Blunderbuss refers to a firearm that has a short barrel and a flared muzzle for firing multiple projectiles. Carbine is a more modern term that generally refers to a shorter-barreled, lighter-weight version of a rifle. Short Rifle refers to a rifle with a relatively short barrel length, making it easier to maneuver in cramped spaces.
