A blunderbuss is a type of firearm that was popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is a short-barreled, large-bore musket that was primarily used for personal defense and as a weapon for boarding parties on ships.

The name "blunderbuss" is derived from the Dutch word "donderbus," which means "thunder gun." The weapon is characterized by its wide, flared muzzle, which allows for the firing of a variety of shot sizes, including balls, shot, or even nails and other debris. This made the blunderbuss an effective weapon at close range, where it could be used to defend against multiple attackers.

The blunderbuss typically used a flintlock ignition system and was loaded by pouring a measured amount of powder down the barrel, followed by the shot or ball, and then a wadding to hold everything in place. Blunderbusses were commonly used by military, naval forces, and more... civilians as self-defense weapons, as well as by coachmen and stagecoach guards to fend off highwaymen. less...
