Flintlock English lock musket, c. 1660 (musket, flintlock, doglock, 9 bore)
5930095 Flintlock English lock musket, c.1660 (musket, flintlock, doglock, 9 bore) by English School, (17th century); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: Flintlock English lock musket, 1660 (c).
This musket is a flintlock. When the trigger was pulled, a piece of flint was brought down sharply onto a metal pan loaded with gunpowder. This produced sparks which ignited the powder to fire the weapon. Muskets like this were very inaccurate, and had a maximum range of about 50 metres. Musketeers had to fire a volley of shots at an enemy to be sure of hitting someone. Muskets were impossible to reload quickly, so musketeers had to be protected from enemy cavalry by pikemen.); eNational Army Museum; English, out of copyright
