Petronels were shot from the chest (their name comes from the French word for chest, poitrine ). These crook-butted long guns were a popular stock design for a few decades at the end of the 16th century. They were soon supplanted by more practical shoulder stocks as the recoil resulted in chronic chest injuries.
