I saw her put three (four?) packets of powder in, followed by some of the wrappers for wadding, but I didn't see her introduce a projectile. Did I miss something?

I was joking. Sheesh. heheh
I wondered about that too... Go to around 1:23 and give a listen... Sounds like the gun is being used as a shotgun, with small projectiles. The last bit of paper or wadding seems to be being used to hold them all in there. When she drops the rod down the barrel it is hitting something soft, non-metallic. That's the way I'm hearing it.
A swivel gun commonly resembled a very small cannon and so did not have a shoulder stock, and was mounted at a central point as was the wall-piece, so that it would "swivel" [hence the name]. These would have been smooth bore, and could have a bore from 1" to 2", launching ball as heavy as one or two pounds. However, the swivel gun was very effective when used as a large shotgun and was more commonly used as such, firing several smaller balls at one time, at close range targets, such as men trying to board from an enemy ship alongside. A 2" bored swivel gun could launch 64 ½" balls.
Disappointing is that the gun shown in the initial thumbnail isn't shown in the video (or I missed it)
While I would LOVE to have George Washington's pistol or Simon Bolivars... I'm not sure I'd want to own Osward's Carcano or Booth's Lincoln-Derringer.
