Since finding out that my paternal ancestors came over from England to Jamestown in 1613-14 i've been trying to learn about what firearms they used. I figured matchlocks but was surprised to find out how early the flintlocks ancestors were invented and the variety offered. This is an excellent video showing early black powder arms up to the flintlocks. Decent illustrations and explanations on some of the history.  The Flintlock: History and Evolution |

That's no way for guys like us to go out. We should go out in the midst of a desperate battle, doing great deeds. - COL Rick Rescorla
