Thank-you for uploading such an informative video.
I read recently that the "false muzzle" wasn't for easy reloading. It was introduced because these short guns did not project beyond a ship's gun ports, so the sideways blast from the muzzle tended to damage the wall of the ship. The muzzle was openned out to direct the blast forward, away from the ship side.

Could it have been made in the Holy Roman Empire for the river patrol Galleys ? I ask ,as when I was in Germany, I saw a few military arms with similar crowns and Ducal coronets. I strongly doubt that it was for Imperial Galleys though; but Hanover or Saxony ?

how did a false muzzle make it easier to load?

Works like a funnel I guess, if you are in a hurry you won't waste as much time repositioning the round so it will go down the muzzle.

Is that why certain flintlock pistols and muskets/rifles, from the 1700's, had cannon-shaped barrels?
