How did the flintlock musket work?
The flintlock musket fires a (usually lead) projectile with a charge of black powder. When the shooter pulls the trigger, it releases a spring loaded flint striker. The flint striker ignites primer in the primer pan which then goes to ignite the black powder thus expelling the projectile. They are almost universally made to be muzzle loaders meaning that with every shot, the shooter had to pour black powder, a wad, and a lead bullet down the barrel, then prime and cock before being able to fire.

Is a black powder gun a center fire or rim fire?
None of the above. A black powder gun uses a lead ball or conical bullet that is packed into the breech on top of the powder with a small piece of cloth wadding. These bullets are solid, and have no built-in primer like modern firearms. In a black powder firearm, the powder is in a small bowl on the top of the firearm. The spark from the spring-loaded flintlock strikes the frizzen, dropping a shower of sparks onto the gun powder.
Pros and cons of flintlock muskets?
There are multiple advantages and disadvantages to flintlock muskets both compared to ancient and modern arms. A flintlock by its name uses a stone (flint) to ignite the powder charge. Flints do wear out, requiring monitoring, sharpening and replacement. Rifles that use percussion caps gain a level of simplicity and disposability in comparison. In comparison to modern arms the carrying of black powder is both a risk, and that it can become unusable if wet. Modern firearms that use cartridges simplify the issue by making the powder charge, primer and projectile one sealed assembly.
