  Cartridge (firearms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This cartridge was used with the muzzle-loading military firearm, the base of the cartridge being ripped or bitten off by the soldier, the powder poured into the barrel, and the bullet then rammed home.
The mechanism of the flint-lock musket, in which the pan was covered by the furrowed steel struck by the flint, rendered this method of priming unnecessary, as, in loading, a portion of the charge of powder passed from the barrel through the vent into the pan, where it was held by the cover and hammer.
Cartridges for punt guns are usually 1½ inches (37 mm) in diameter and 9¾ inches (248 mm) in length.
