If you ever wondered what type of firearms were used by the infantry in the early decades of the 16th century, this is your video. The snap matchlock or tinder lock arquebus was a short, small calibre arm that could be operated both with tinder sticks and slow match. It was the most important infantry arm, but in the second half of the 16th century it was replaced by the larger caliber, heavier matchlock musket.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
