History of Early Guns
I just wrote an article on the history of early firearms. It’s a topic I’ve always been interested in, ever since I saw my first flintlock I was hooked. I’m not a huge fan of modern firearms, they seem to have lost a lot of artistic nature as they progressed through the years. That makes sense, a gun is more about function than form, but it’s a shame none-the-less. Early firearms like the matchlock and flintlock are absolutely beautiful even in their most basic, no frills forms. The really ornate models are incredible works of art. A2 Armory has a large selection of replica flintlock pistols sold singly or in pairs, they are some of the prettiest guns ever made.
