Jezail vs Long Rifle

It looks like IMFDB has it slightly wrong again. Here you can see that the long rifle in Unity clearly lacks the characteristic stock of the jezail. The closest thing I found is this Ottoman musket, though it has different ornaments compared to the long rifle. Any thoughts? Nanomat (talk) 21:19, October 10, 2017 (UTC)

Ah we should probably change the article then, but I want you to double-check and be sure first. Basically, my procedure has been to consult IMFDb as the first source, act in accordance to it, and then have you verify it afterwards each time. :P Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 03:39, October 11, 2017 (UTC)

I can not confirm if that is the exact reference gun as it clearly has different ornamentations, but I am certain that the Long Rifle is not exactly a Jezail. Maybe it would be best to have separate Long Rifle article and mention in the trivia that it is an ornate rifle with some Oriental, Ottoman or Jezail elements, though the only Jezail elements I see are the barrel hoops. I think we definitely need a better image of the Long Rifle to determine more correctly. Nanomat (talk) 12:58, October 11, 2017 (UTC)
