For the occasion i wip out this picture of a rather short swivel gun, just for the fun of it. Its location is the newly opened army museum in The Netherlands. They have a few more interesting firearms as well.
The gun is no more than 30-40 cm (including the tiller). Its actuall intend or place of usage is not known.

My example dated 1450 is a bit longer: 43 cms. with its tiller cut off ... go figure why.
