The snap matchlock Landsknecht arquebus and the battle of Mohács in 1526

Let me guide you through a research project I am deeply involved in about the early matchlock firearms of the first decades of the 16th century and the battle of Mohács in 1526. If you ever wondered what’s inside a 16th century gun barrel, and how the bullets were made, it’s your content. The laboratory of Continental Automotive Hungary Ltd. is providing the laboratory background for the X-Ray, CT and electron-microscope examination of the 16th century artifacts.
