Matchlocks are an early type of firearm ignition system that use a slow-burning match cord. When the trigger is pulled, a lever lowers a clamp that holds the burning match against a priming pan filled with gunpowder. This ignites the powder, which then travels through a touch hole into the main charge in the barrel, firing the projectile. The system relies on the match being lit and properly positioned to ensure reliable ignition.
