The only explanation I can think of that would explain this weapon's impracticality would be if something happened to a bluderbuss that left it broken in some way that wasn't worth fixing compared to getting/making a new one (such as a musket ball melting inside the barrel, in such a way that the entire barrel would have to be replaced), and someone decided to recycle it into the shaft of a new axe.
