Could be with a longer barrel. Probably an early grenade launcher of sorts. Interesting piece. Cheers.

I guess the 20g burglar/stage coach guns used a reduced load?
The kartar with single /dual pistols is common in museums, but the inlay and embellishment on these certainly points to a famous/ rich owner.
badshah, nice gun, can i see your shoulder
