Flintlock is the general term for any firearm based on the flintlock mechanism. Introduced about 1630, the flintlock replaced earlier firearm technologies, such as the matchlock and wheellock mechanisms. It continued to be in common use for over 200 years. Flintlock weapons use was replaced by percussion cap and then cartridge-based systems in the early-to-mid 19th century. The Model 1840 U.S. musket was the last flintlock firearm produced for the U.S. military.

While technologically obsolete, flintlock firearms have enjoyed a renaissance among black powder shooting enthusiasts and many fine flintlock rifles and pistols are still being made today.

The flintlock mechanism produces sparks when a piece of flint, held in the jaws of a spring-loaded hammer or "cock" strikes the steel face of the "frizzen", knocking the frizzen forward to uncover a small pan of gunpowder beneath the frizzen. The resulting spark ignites the powder in the pan and this flame is transferred through a small hole to ignite the main powder charge inside the barrel. Under damp or rainy conditions, the gunpowder in the pan could get wet and the gun would be unable to fire.
