A standardized arquebus, the caliver, was introduced in the latter half of the 16th century. |
Our artillery lost its value, and we met them with fusil and caliver. |
The three main size categories generally corresponded with the arquebus, caliver, and musket. |
The Caliver was a kind of short musket or harquebus, fired by a matchlock, and from its lightness did not require a rest. |
