Like you'd ever hit anything with that... Plus it's super unwieldy to transport, slow to load and some ranges won't even let you bring one. Not to mention the maintenance requirements of shooting black powder/substitutes. Completely impractical in every aspect.
Do you know where I can buy one of these things?

Also with soapy hot water, a bore mop and some elbow grease i got it clean in like 15 mins!

I own a musket for self defence, for that's what the founding fathers intended.

Designed to kill as many people in the shortest amount of time in ancient China btw. Another weapon of war.

more like "do díla!". The handcannon was used between 1288 (earliest example) and late 1400s to suuuper early 1500s.

Super awsome but isnt this technically a restricted firearm due to barrel length? IIRC the barrel legnth reqs apply to firelocks

The barrel length makes it restricted but iirc the OAL (and the obvious sign its not a pistol) makes it a long-gun; and the fact its a "matchlock" muzzleloader makes it antique
(Copied comment from someone asking the same question)
