What defines a Indian “trade gun “ ? I take it you’re referring to North American Indians ?

That's what the model is called. Essentially it's a 20g smoothbore Fowler,of a style that was traded to the north American Indians

I wondered if it was something to do with Mexican drug cartels & people trafficking...
& Pete needed a gun for his new trade...
