That’s not a musket, that’s a pepperbox. A musket is a long gun.

In general parlance, a musket has a barrel of 40 inches or more.

Police say the suspect gave them the name Ryan Battles, but he was later identified as Brandon Battles.

Let's go Brandon.

I knew nothing about pepperboxes, so I went looking for info, and found this interesting video.

I'd be checking his parole status. Black powder guns are often carried by ex-felons due to a quirk in firearms laws.

From the ATF Website:

Because black powder firearms are considered antique firearms, the possession of a black powder firearm by a person subject to federal firearms disabilities is not prohibited by the GCA. However, a person subject to federal firearms disabilities may not receive and/or possess black powder firearms that can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof which are classified as "firearms."

I bought one of those years ago when we dabbled in buckskinning. It’s imported by CVA. It’s .36 caliber and has 4 barrels. I fired it once or twice. Very difficult to use. One of those .36 Colt Navy replicas is a much better choice if you want to mess with black powder. It’s a lot of fun actually.
