	Black Powder & Muzzleloading / Ignition Systems
		This firing mechanism is a great step in advancement from its predecessors because it does not use an exposed flashpan to begin the ignition process.
		This firing mechanism provided a major advance in reliability, since the cap was almost certain to explode when struck.
		Perfection of the percussion caplock, departure from the round ball to the bullet, the addition of rifle scopes on rifles which increased the range of accuracy for rifles and then the invention of rimfire cartridges which led to, the last and greatest innovations of all, centerfire brass cased ammunition and smokeless powder.

		His invention of the percussion cap deprived the pigeons of their early warning system, both by avoiding the initial puff of smoke from the flintlock powder pan, as well as shortening the time interval between the trigger pull and the shot leaving the muzzle.
		Caplock guns were also less likely to misfire than flintlock guns.
		Joshua Shaw - an English born American - is sometimes credited with the development of the first metallic percussion cap in 1814 but his claim remains clouded with controversy as he did not patent the idea until 1822.

		Before that point the military effectiveness of muzzleloaders was hindered by the low reloading speed and, in early times, the high risk the weapon still posed to the person firing it.
		Matchlocks were the first and simplest firing mechanisms developed.
		Automatic rifles such as the Browning Automatic Rifle (often referred to as the BAR) were in common use during the early part of the 20th century while automatic weapons that fired pistol rounds, known as submachine guns, also became popular during this period.

	CVA \| Cocking & Firing Your Muzzleloader
		When the trigger is pulled, the internal sear mechanism releases the tumbler, allowing the bolt/striker to fall forward under the pressure of the bolt spring at the rear of the bolt/striker.
		The bolt spring is the in-line equivalent of the mainspring in the sidelock mechanism.
		The mechanism is cocked in the same fashion as a modern bolt action rifle.

	Revolver - Databank
		They were partly an attempt to improve on pepper-box type weapons, which used a revolving cylinder with one set of firing mechanisms, but which had multiple barrels as well.
		The first practical revolvers were caplocks, because the caplock method of priming was the first to be compact enough to make a practical revolver feasible.
		With its unusual mechanism, this Nagant revolver closes the gap between the cylinder and the barrel and seals this gap when the trigger is first pulled, before the gun fires; this design is thus especially effective when used with a silencer.

	Electronic ignition system for personal black powder firearms patent invention (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is an in-line caplock which operates in the same manner as a traditional caplock but instead of having the hammer, nipple, and cap on the side of the gun, they are placed in line with the barrel.
		The caplock firing mechanism may be removed from the firearm by removing the existing bolt, hammer system/firing pin, nipple, and breach plug.
		The breach plug of the caplock is then replaced with the breach plug (101) with the electrode (103) projecting into the barrel (401) of the firearm (400).

	The ins and outs of muzzleloading \| StarNewsOnline.com \| Star-News \| Wilmington, NC
		While the patched round ball was the most accurate projectile for replica caplock and flintlock rifles, most hunters with modern, inline ignition rifles use either a full-bore diameter lubricated bullet or a sub-bore diameter pistol bullet wrapped in a plastic sabot.
		While flintlocks and caplocks are famous for misfires, they seldom happen with inline rifles that use shotgun primers instead of primitive ignition systems.
		The hammer is cocked, the trigger squeezed, and the strike ignites the priming compound in the cap.

	Firearm
		Percussion caps (caplock mechanisms), coming into wide service in the 19th century, were a dramatic improvement over flintlocks.
		With the percussion cap mechanism, the small primer charge of gunpowder used in all preceding small arms was replaced by a completely self-contained explosive charge contained in a small brass "cap".
		Eventually, the "rapid" firing mechanism was perfected and miniaturized to the extent that either the recoil of the firearm or the gas pressure from firing could be used to operate it (which made the firing mechanisms truly "automatic").

	Flintlock - Gunpedia
		The flintlock mechanism, or just flintlock, was an earlier style of gunlock created in the 1500's, that succeeded the wheellock.
		It was later adopted by the British Army during the 1660's; they later built and manufactured the Brown Bess rifle, which used a flintlock gunlock.
		The flintlock was heavily used until the mid-1800's, when it was replaced by the caplock mechanism.

	Thomas May's rifle
		According to a great-great grandson, Eldon May, it appears that the rifle was converted from a flintlock to a caplock rifle.
		The flashpan mechanism in the pouch has an 1828 date engraved on it so Thomas probably didn't convert to a caplock rifle until the 1830s or 40s.
		This invention was gradually improved, and came to be used, first in a steel cap, and then in a copper cap, by various gunmakers and private individuals before coming into general military use nearly thirty years later.

	The Miquelet Lock --Spanish Weaponry
		he firing mechanism for the typical Spanish musket (fusil) was the Spanish lock (llava española) of the flintlock type commonly referred to as "miquelet".
		It is generally accepted that the characteristics that classify a flintlock mechanism as a miquelet are the horizontal acting sears.
		The advent of the "caplock" firearm in the first quarter of the 19th century initiated the demise of the classic miquelet patilla lock.

	Hammer
		The essential part of a hammer is the head, a compact solid mass that is able to deliver the blows to the intended target without itself breaking up.
		A hammer is basically a force amplifier, that works by converting mechanical work into kinetic energy and back.
		In the swing that precedes each blow, a certain amount of kinetic energy gets stored in the hammer's head, equal to the length D of the swing times the force f produced by the muscles of the arm and by gravity.

		The mechanism emitted the necessary quantities of refrigerated air but was excessively noisy when turned up to anything more than the gentlest zephyr, and in the front seat we found it impossible to avoid a direct cold blast no matter how the vanes were adjusted.
		The outlet console for the air conditioning in the front is suspended from the instrument panel and although it is trimmed in matching veneer, it does appear to be tacked on rather than engineered into the car.

		The charge is ignited by either the flame of an exploding percussion cap in a cap lock or by the ignition of gunpowder burning in a small pan next to the barrel in the case of a flintlock.
		In either case, the mechanism used to ignite the gunpowder in the barrel is known as the lock.
		Flame of the ignition passes through a small opening in either the rear or side of the barrel where the gunpowder charge is located.
