"Flintlock" pistols
were so called because the lock uses a flint to strike sparks
into the primjing 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"! |
