Although it sounds a bit like buzzard, a blunderbuss was an early firearm that was distinct from a rifle. It had a barrel that widened at the muzzle, which dispersed shot or other projectiles as in a modern shotgun. Its design also made it easier to reload with powder and shot, especially on horseback where a rod was often impractical.
