The Kariofili, also spelled Kariophili, was a smoothbore musket produced and used throughout Greece and its neighbouring territories within the Ottoman Empire from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. A symbol of resistance and status, it was the characteristic arm of the Klephts and Armatoles and played a significant role in the Greek War of Independence.
