Seven Palm Musket

Here's a reference to an "8 palm" turkish miquelet. I don't know much about these muskets, but the few pictures I've seen of them had longish barrels. I'm not sure why one that's 180 cm or longer is out of the question.

Hi Fearn,
I guess that one, being XVIII century, is 'too modern' for the context
