Pistols- and they were breech loading- ( hence no ramrod)-
The barrel always had some kind of place for a key to engage, for unscrewing the barrel.
The powder and ball were loaded, and the barrel was screwed back on.
the bore of these pistols had a slight choke , making them more accurate, and powerful
than a muzzle loader-
