The attachments depict Bohemian pipe guns (German: Böhmische oder Hussiten-Pfeifen) from the 1430's, preserved at the Museum of Tabor, Czechia.
They all retain their rear original sockets, the hafts are modern replacements.
The socketed barrel shown on all images is 42 cm long overall including the socket, its bore 20 mm.

For more on that type of longarms cf. my threads:
