Default Indian matchlocks (Who says size isn't important?)

Here's another matchlock in the 'to restore' pile.
Thing is, I came across its BIG brother and it made me wonder.
Mine is about 5' long, the one I saw, which is almost exactly the same just bigger, is around 12' long!
Same proportions, like a rifle, just the length of two tall men!!
Can anyone shed any light on these gigantic rifles?
