Some say what is the difference between a Calivar and a Musket, a musketeer has a stick to help steady the musket, muskets are generally bigger than Calivars and have a bigger recoil.

Another view of the above |
If a figure has a stick but no gun, then its a spear, unless its a pike - which is noticeably longer that a spear! If the stick has no pointy bit and is bent - then its a bow....
Close-up of Elizabethan, armed with a Calivar
If it looks like a gun with a wooden crossbar and it fires arrows, then its a crossbow.

Another Calivar armed man |
If the gun is very short and is held in one hand - then it is a pistol.
