"Flintlock"
pistols were so called because the lock uses a flint to strike
sparks into the priming pan when the trigger is pulled. A small
amount of gunpowder in this pan is ignited, which in turn ignites
the main gunpowder charge in the barrel, firing the lead ball.
Both the main charge and the ball were loaded from the front,
or muzzle, of the barrel, after which the priming charge was poured
into the pan - all very time consuming! Often the priming charge
would burn but fail to ignite the main charge - whence the expression
"flash in the pan"!
