Flintlocks, are as accurate as any other gun without a scope. It depends on your load and the how tight you pack the ball with the patch. With practise and lots of it, you can be very proficient with a flintlock, and it is a lot more fun than any other gun.
Yes
The flintlock was a primitive gun.
A flintlock musket is a firearm thatn was created in the 1500's that was used to poke deep holes and took over 30 seconds to reload for a normal soldier. It was created to make cannons portable. Althoiugh they were not accurate and they ewxploded alot more then fireing musket balls
Mainly flintlock smoothbore muskets, with a few flintlock rifles. There were also flintlock pistols and "fowling pieces"- shotguns.

I have posted a great article in the related links that explains in detail how a flintlock works.
When describing hunting rifles of the 17th, 18th and 19th century, some writers use the term flintlock, instead of using the fuller description of flintlock mechanism.
No such thing. The last flintlock rifle of the US Military was the Springfield Model 1840. You need a hands on appraisal by a dealer in muzzleloaders.
They did
Flintlock pistoles and rifles where mainly used when pirates roamed during 1600-1700
Slightly more accurate than throwing a rock. These were large diameter smoothbore firearms- internal barrel diameter was not always consistent. 25 FEET would be a usable range. PS- I have flintlock and cap lock muzzleloading pistols that are EXREMELY accurate at 50 YARDS- but those are rifled, and from a much later period.
