[Ads-l] "musket"

[Jonathan Lighter]

_The Guardian_ discusses _Last of the Mohicans_ (1992) in 2010
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/oct/19/last-mohicans-action :

Cora (Madeleine Stowe)...shows her mettle early on when she slips a musket
into her pocket.

I think they mean a flintlock pistol.  But it could be a typo for "muskrat."
