It is a composite weapon that combines the functions of an axe and a firearm, typically consisting of a long handle and an axe blade, with a barrel mounted on one side of the axe blade. In certain historical periods, such as the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was used for battlefields and hunting. Allow users to use the axe part for slashing in close combat, while using firearms for shooting from a distance. Due to its weight and complexity, axe guns may not be as flexible as single function weapons in practical use. The design of the axe gun also reflected the development of weapon manufacturing technology at that time and the demand for tactical diversity. It is no longer used as a collectible.
