What is a powder horn?

A container used to store and measure gunpowder. It was used in muskets and became obsolete when the cartridge was invented.

At the opposite end was the point where the firing pin had to strike in order to cause the powder to explode, creating enough energy to cause the bullet to travel through the barrel of the gun at tremendous velocity.
