Musketoons fired 2.5 inch bullets?!

What's a musketoon, you ask? Well, it's a gun that fired 2.5 inch bullets! That's 63mm! For context: "The diameter of the wad slug is slightly less than the nominal bore diameter, being around 0.690 in (17.5 mm) for a 12-gauge wad slug." So these bullets were about 3.6 times as big as shotgun slugs!

Ok, I'll take a step back. This is a musketoon:

Notably, this is a relavetively small one, with a barrel of 1 inch / c. 25mm, but that's still a massive difference with a shotgun slug -- although admittedly, musket balls were also slightly larger than those slugs I found.

It was apparently very popular for naval combat, hence the short barrel. But damn, you're going to be punching massive holes into people with this...

Yeah, I'm going to see if I can use this in From the Bay of Fangs.
