Pneumatica Antiqua - The Antique Air Guns Obsession
For hundreds of years, most common powder firearms were muzzle loading and needed a ram rod; literally a big stick to force everything down the barrel. A fabric patch or wad, grease and a separate special tool to hammer the ball into the muzzle were all part of the kit bag before you got to use the rod, and remember all this for only one shot.

The barrel is hinged to the front and pulls the piston back away from the user to cock the gun. On release, the piston pushes the air towards the breech block then up and out into the barrel.
