Dane gun The Dane gun was originally a type of long-barreled flintlock musket imported into West Africa by Danish traders prior to the mid-19th century. The term is now used chiefly by Europeans living along the west African coast to generally describe any indigenously made firearm of this type.〔〔(Dane Gun: Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary )〕 Local names for these firearms vary from language to language, but are generally something that "seem() to mean or imply a 'native gun'".〔; Christopherson, "Some Special West African English Words", 210.〕 They are produced in large numbers by local blacksmiths, and are used mostly for hunting game, replacing traditional hunting weapons such as the bow and spear.〔 == References ==
