My understanding that many blunderbusses were for use from horseback or carriage. Having the flared muzzle making them easier to load. However, I have seen a few that are straight barreled, not flared. were these "short" rifles a different type of horse waffen? Some of them are rifled so that would be a reason not to have a flared barrel.
As seen in the image below, these "rifles" are shorter than the "horse pistol.
