it looks like a rifle with a horse on the end
A musket typically had a long barrel, a wooden stock, and a matchlock or flintlock mechanism to ignite the gunpowder. It was a heavy and cumbersome firearm used in the 16th to 19th centuries.
A musket is smooth bored, like a shotgun's bore. A rifle has rifling inside the bore (grooves).
It improves that accuracy and distance of the bullet by causing the bullet to spin not tumble like a smooth bore barrel musket.
The lock, the stock, and the barrel. The lock is the mechanism with hammer, trigger, pan, and other parts to fire the musket. The stock is the wooden furniture which allows the operator to hold and aim the musket. The barrel is the tube through which the projectile is fired, exactly like a modern weapon, except that musket barrels were smooth bored like a shotgun instead of rifled.

Musket or Musket or maybe a Musket.:D
A pistol would generally be considered a weapon with a relatively short barrel length like a handgun, whereas a musket would be a long barreled weapon more like a rifle.

A soldier with a musket that doesn't need anything to hold it (like a tripod).
