Included with our purchase from the old palace of Lagan Silikhana in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2003 here is very interesting P 1771 EIC Brown Bess Musket that has had the original 39 inch barrel shortened to 26 inches for the express purpose of converting it to a "Grenade Discharging Gun". These types of muskets were typically used at sea to launch incendiary grenades to set fire to the sails of any hostile predators.
