  • Dane gun, lett. "pistola danese", è il nome con cui venivano originariamente indicati i moschetti a pietra focaia e canna lunga (lunghezza complessiva di 6 piedi) importati in Africa occidentale dai commercianti dano-norvegesi prima della metà del XIX secolo. Il termine è ora utilizzato principalmente dagli Europei che vivono lungo la costa dell'Africa occidentale per descrivere generalmente qualsiasi arma da fuoco di questo tipo prodotta indigena. I nomi locali per queste armi da fuoco variano da lingua a lingua ma generalmente sono qualcosa che "sembra significhi o implichi una pistola nativa". Sono prodotti in gran numero dagli armaioli locali e usati principalmente per la caccia alla selvaggina, sostituendo le armi tradizionali come l'arco e la zagaglia. (it)
