A flintlock pistol works using a simple but clever ignition system developed in the 17th century. When the trigger is pulled, a piece of flint held in the hammer strikes a steel plate called the frizzen. This action creates sparks, which ignite a small amount of priming powder in the pan.
The flame from the pan then travels through a small hole (called the touch hole) into the main barrel, where it ignites the main gunpowder charge. This explosion creates gas pressure that propels the bullet or projectile out of the barrel.
Flintlock pistols were widely used before modern firearms and are now popular as historical collectibles. For realistic, non-firing flintlock replicas, Replica Weapons offers detailed models for display Replica Weapons Australia.
