What was a flint and why did soldiers need it?

Flint is a very hard type of stone. It was used, before the invention of gunpowder, to fire muskets. The soldier would strike a piece of steel with a piece of flint to produce a spark that would ignite the propellant in the musket. Of course, flint and steel were used in a similar way to start fires. Flint is used in cigarette lighters still today. The ridged wheel of steel is pressed and spun against the flint to produce a spark to ignite the wick.
