These three rifles hanging on the walls are known as Arabian or Berber rifles, distinguished by their extremely long barrels. This design choice was technically motivated; before the advent of rifling, which imparts accuracy to the projectile, shooting precision was primarily achieved through the length of the barrel. Although the precision was quite limited, this extended barrel design aimed to improve the trajectory of the projectile. Among these rifles, there are three of varying sizes, with the one on the far right likely being a child's rifle.
