Does anyone have a picture of what a gun would have looked like in Massachusetts in 1692? I know they had guns(I read it in my history book), but I don't know what they looked like. Thanks!

flintlocks are a possibility (there were various types) but these were the early years and those things were pretty expensive at that time. Also, let's face it, Massachussetts was not exactly at the forefront of technology at that time. So the most likely weapon is a matchlock (in the case of long guns) and a wheel lock pistol (in the case of wealthy officers/ cavalrymen)
