Two terms- Rifle- means a firearm intended to fired from the shoulder, that has grooves cut into the inside of the barrel. These grooves make the bullet spin when fired, producing much greater accuracy than a smoothbore.
Flintlock- meaning that it fires by scraping a bit of flint rock down a steel plate (the frizzen) which makes sparks that fall into a shallow depression filled with gunpowder.
Popular in the 1700's, they were replaced with percussion firearms that used a percussion cap- a small metal cup that exploded when struck by the rifle's hammer, creating that same spark/flame to ignite the gunpowder.

What are flintlock rifles?
There is no such thing as a Flintlock rifle. There is a rifle and a flintlock. A rifle is a weapon with rifling in the barrel which are curved notches wich cause the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel. A flintlock is a weapon with no rifling and shoots a spherical ball. It is propelled down the barrel by an explosion caused by a flint stiking a metal plate. The sparks then ignite some gunpowder shooting the shot from the barrel. A flintlock was not a brilliant weapon, they weren't that powerful, they had a poor range and they sometimes misfired.
