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.
Are we talking fully automatic or semiautomatic weapons? Not that it matters much, as both kinds were invented around the same time. The first self-powered (i.e. recoil-operated) fully automatic weapon was the Maxim machine gun, invented in 1884 (or '83, depending on the source). The so-called Gatling gun was invented earlier, but it was operated via a crank that you had to continuously turn, so it wouldn't really qualify as fully automatic in the modern sense. Semi-automatic weapons - rifles as well as handguns - were invented around the same time. The first (successful) semiautomatic rifle was the Mannlicher M85, which, not surprisingly, was unveiled in 1885. As for pistols, the first (commercially) successful design was the Borchardt C-93, which was invented in 1893 and became available for sale the following year.
