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.
This property allows flint to be used as a fire-starter. Skilled people can use a piece of flint, a piece of steel and a little tinder to quickly start a fire. Early firearms, such as a flintlock, had a piece of flint attached to a spring-loaded hammer that was released when the trigger was pulled.Novaculite  is another similar material. It has a sedimentary origin that is similar to flint but diagenesis and metamorphism have increased the size of the quartz microcrystals. It has been used for thousands of years for making sharp tools and weapons.
