A highwayman's gun is often referred to as a "musketeer" or "fowling piece," but more specifically, the term "pistol" is commonly used. In historical contexts, highwaymen typically carried flintlock pistols, which were favored for their ease of use and effectiveness in close-range confrontations. These firearms were often used during the 17th and 18th centuries by robbers who ambushed travelers.
