	Wheellock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, a drawing from a book of German inventions (dated 1505) and a reference to the purchase of a wheellock in Austria in 1507 may indicate the inventor was an unknown German mechanic instead.
		Among the advantages of the wheellock was a better resistance to rain or damp conditions than the matchlock, and the absence of a tell-tale glow, or smell from the burning match.
		The wheellock was used along with the matchlock until both were replaced by the faster, simpler, and less costly flintlock of the 1600s.

		I've played with several reproduction wheellocks that were made in the U.K. and they are AMAZING.
		The thing to remember is wheellocks were expensive and required a lot of attention which is why only the elite really had them in quantity.
		Matchlocks wer MUCH simpler and required less upkeep, which is why the common folk, soldiers, etc had them on large scale.

	What if flint locks were made befor wheellocks - Alternate History Discussion Board
		how would the world's history changed if Flintlocks were discovered before the wheellock.
		So, bigger, more effective armies and you've probably also insured that percussion locks and minie balls are invented rather earlier as well - which means (American) Civil War levels of battlefield casualties among other things.
		Cavalry stopped being the arm of decision long ago, so whether they carry flintlocks, wheellocks, or sharp sticks is relatively moot.

		My understanding is that the touchhole on wheellocks was aimed at an angle to direct the blast away from the pyrite, so I will do that and see how the Misch holds up.
		And on that subject (I'm getting long winded here) I have heard that some people use flint in their wheellocks, and a shipwreck that was investigated carried wheellocks but no pyrites, only flint, implying that flint was used back when.
		So use flint in your wheellock only if you are willing to live with some wear on the wheel.

		A wide fl leather belt with a filigreed silver buckle encircles her slender waist contain her rapiers and two techowizard (technowizard devices are highly advanced devices combined with the magical arts) pistols styled in the fashion of wheellocks.
		Her wheellocks were a gift to her from a good friend lost to her when she entered the Dream, they function like normal fire blaster pistols capable of shooting great distances, as well as being able to cast a fire blast spell four times before the energy cell has to be replaced.

		Recently, I had been observing some discussions about whether original Wheellocks had an angled vent to protect the fragile pyrite from the blast.
		Tonight he did call me and said that the vents on the Italian and the French Wheellock pistols were indeed angled.
		The vent blast was directed to be forward and high of the pyrite.

		Snaplocks, which later evolved into the flintlocks that entirely supplanted all the other systems, at least in Europe, are just slightly overcomplicated and slightly temperamental versions of flintlocks.
		Some cavalry types might also use them, but a squadron of heavy cavalry isn't likely to thunder down a street near the wharfs.
		For the rest, at most you need perhaps seven long guns, each available in snaplock or wheellock (giving differing reliability):

		They forced on me the additional $180 wheellocks (worth about $40), $230 window etching (do-it-yourself for about $30 at Target), and $1000 "Northwest Protection Package" of some interior and exterior teflon coating (didn't know Infiniti's came with such crappy factory paint and leather).
		Apparently they sell all their cars for sticker, the salesman told me. And that was after the 2nd test-drive ("demo" in dealerspeak) of the vehicle at that dealership.
