The SRD only gives a means to determine costs and weights of weapons for Large and Small versions based on the Medium weapons. Any other supplied values are the author's best determination.

Loading an arquebus is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Normally, operating an arquebus requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, an arquebus with one hand at a -2 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot an arquebus with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
