Flintlock is the general term for any firearm based on the flintlock mechanism. The term may also apply to the mechanism itself. Introduced at the beginning of the 17th century, the flintlock rapidly replaced earlier firearm-ignition technologies, such as the doglock, matchlock, and wheellock mechanisms.ost flintlocks were produced at a time before modern manufacturing processes became common. Even in mass-produced weapons, parts were often handmade. If a flintlock became damaged, or parts wore out due to age, the damaged parts were not easily replaced.
The first weapon that worked like a pistol was the matchlock arm, used by Spanish armies in the late 15th Century. Wheel locks were then invented and the weapon was in common use by French armies by 1544.In 1836 the revolving pistol (revolver) as it now exists was patented by Samuel Colt of Connecticut.obody knows. There were a lot of small arms invented during a period of experimentation in the 15th century. If we don't consider any matchlock a true pistol (since they are â¦ difficult and somewhat impractical to use as pistols) we can start with the wheellock, which was invented in the early 1500's.
