There's a similar mould on the wiki page for musket.

What was the musket used on ships with the wider muzzle ??  Can`t remember what its called but it had a short barrel and was meant to keep pirates from boarding a ship !!  You loaded it with multiple size balls or nails or rocks  or whatever you could get in the barrel !!  So when fired it would scatter broadly !!   Like a sawed off shotgun !! Scattergun !!

I believe blunderbuss is the term you might be looking for Mart.

Thats it Pelady !!  Thanks !!  I had brain fog trying to think of what it was called !! 
I was thinking that this mold would be perfect for those guns  !! Maybe the ones from that mold would have been enough for one load !!  I mean its not like you would get a second shot and they needed it to get as many pirates as possible !!
