Afghan jezail b/w US drone aircraft: “…during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-42) it (jezail) came into its own as a sniper weapon, fired down from high cliffs down onto the British Army retreating from Kabul to Jalalabad. Being heavier and longer-barrelled than the British Brown Bess musket, the Jezail outmatched the return fire. Most were hand-made: only a few were rifled.”
