AI overview
An arquebus is an early type of gun that was popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, featuring a long barrel and requiring a lit match or similar device to fire. It mattered historically because it was one of the first firearms reliable enough to be widely used by armies and helped transform military warfare during that era.
