The matchlock improved the accuracy of handguns with a simple add-on. By attaching the burning end of the match to a trigger operated hook. The soldier could use the trigger to move the match inti contact with the touchole. Then, by holding the gun with both hands the aiming was vastly improved. It reamined slow work but as only one shot could be taken before another re-load, it was well that the aim on the first shot was true.
