muzzleloader
Front-loading antique gun
A muzzleloader is a firearm loaded through the barrel's open end rather than from the breech.
Black powder and projectile are pushed down the muzzle with a ramrod.
All guns were muzzleloaders until breech-loading mechanisms appeared in the mid-19th century.
Modern muzzleloaders are used for hunting during special seasons and by enthusiasts of traditional shooting.
