Flintlock firearms were first developed in the early 17th century, with the earliest known models appearing around the 1610s. They became widely used by the mid-17th century and remained in use until the 19th century, eventually being replaced by percussion cap mechanisms. The flintlock mechanism significantly improved the reliability and speed of firing compared to earlier matchlocks.
