What are flintlock rifles?

There is no such thing as a Flintlock rifle. There is a rifle and a flintlock. A rifle is a weapon with rifling in the barrel which are curved notches wich cause the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel. A flintlock is a weapon with no rifling and shoots a spherical ball. It is propelled down the barrel by an explosion caused by a flint stiking a metal plate. The sparks then ignite some gunpowder shooting the shot from the barrel. A flintlock was not a brilliant weapon, they weren't that powerful, they had a poor range and they sometimes misfired.

A flintlock firearm uses a springloaded hammer with a flint attached to strike against a hinged steel plate in order to shower sparks into a shallow pan filled with a small amount of black powder in order to ignite (shoot) a weapon. They were originally invented in Germany in the middle 1600's and were the standard military weapon (musket) from that time until about 1830 when they were replaced by the percussion Cap system. The flintlock musket is the weapon prominent in the American Revolution and the Napoloenic Wars. Usually loaded through the muzzle with tha aid of a ramrod, a slow and cumbersome process.
