Carbine: Short barrel, stock grip, rifled, 12-22mm caliber
Musketoon: Short barrel, stock grip, smoothbore, 25-63mm caliber
Musket: Medium barrel, stock grip, smoothbore, 12-22mm caliber

All are low power.

From what I can tell, Long barrels are for TL6+ rifles. Longer-barrels muskets are "medium" (p. VE102).

Just to follow up, all of the weapons fell out pretty well as described above, with a few caveats:

Blunderbusses actually have a short barrel by the caliber system on p. VE99.
Damage for the VE design blunderbuss is much lower than in HT. . .3d vs. 5d.

I think the prices for the pistols I mentioned in the OP are high because they are usually Fine Quality in HT. Prices for other guns lined up pretty well.

Thanks for the help; the low-power tip was especially critical.
