Latvian term or phrase: garstobra-gludstrobra ierocis
Iepriekš jautāju par 'vītņstobra ieročiem' - tagad esmu aizķērusies ar šo terminu! Vai varētu teikt 'long-barelled weapon'?

long-barrel(ed) smoothbore (gun)
Explanation:
"Smoothbore" var būt ne tikai īpašības vārds, bet arī darbības vārds, tāpēc "gun" var izlaist.
Manuprāt, "gun" ir piemērotāks, jo runa ir par šautenēm.

Var arī "smoothbore with a long-barrel".
