	Hussar Firearms -Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, 17th C.
		The ‘medium’ length weapons – harquebus carbines with a maximum length of about one meter - were also designed to be used from horseback, and were usually carried by a sling over the shoulder to allow for single-handed operation.
		An edict of King Stephan Batory in the 1570s required every hussar to carry at least a brace of pistols; 4 pistols became customary fairly early, and carrying 6 was a common practice.
		‘Comrade’ Hussars of the front rank, who carried the lance, did not carry the harquebus normally; it was more common for the retainers in the rear ranks to be armed with them; however this was a latter development, perhaps not until the mid-1680s.
