DescriptionARMOURY OF THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA 6.jpg | About 1515 an improvement in the firing mechanism of small arms, called the wheel lock, was invented. It consisted of a spring-driven wheel, which, when released by a trigger mechanism, rotated a hardened steel rim against a lump of iron pyrites, throwing a shower of sparks into the powder in the priming pan and thus firing the weapon. At approximately the same time as the wheel lock, gunsmiths introduced rifled barrels. - MALTA | ||
