The wheellock firearm is perhaps the first example of a self-contained firearm that does not require an additional heat source such as a match. With a loaded and primed wheellock firearm, you can draw your weapon and pull the trigger to fire instantly. This readiness to fire and ease of concealment suddenly posed certain problems in the eyes of the law, and access to wheellock firearms was been severely restricted in some states as a consequence. Here we will explore how it works using a modern MENDI reproduction that has been slightly tweeked to give it a more authentic look.

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
