  1. The pistols were clearly wrong tho I didnt know the exact gun :) they are flintlocks! these should be wheel locks this early there is no flintlock yet .. in fact theres 3 or 4 types in between before you get to flintlocks. PS tho there ARE matchlock pistols, this is very rare and a bit stupid .. whats the point of a pistol that requires two hands to get it ready? The wheel lock was the first pistol you could draw and immediately fire without fiddling around with it .. matchlocks are much more common for infantry because they are cheap .. wheel locks is for the fancy and the rich.
