Nomadic Rifleman

This man is a nomad from the Makkaran desert. Many tribesmen from Makkar, Malik, and Zabra have guns of their own construction, and suited for their own tastes. The curved stock of this carbine is meant to be kept under the arm while riding a mount. This allows for greater stability while riding and shooting.

Something quite useful to herdsmen who spend much time in the saddle.

And additional consideration, is that nomads often travel in large numbers, a city on the move if you will. So bandits would be wise to pick less dangerous targets than nomadic tribesmen.
