Interesting video of a 400-year old handgun. It appears to be a wheel lock, but I would have to defer to the experts on this one. Just thought it was neat-o, so passing it along.

I thought this was gonna be a thread about the various drugs you can take and the ability to color within the lines afterward.

Cool video , thanks for sharing...!

Yep...its a Wheel lock...a bit fancier than mine...
Granted that mine is a "mixmaster" of new and original parts.
The lock and inlays are original as in from the 1500's or so...
The rest is new...but you can also shoot mine...if anyone is ever interested....

If I was ever in the Evergreen State, I'd like that because I could claim two very cool things:

1. I met Andy!
2. I shot a wheel lock. (No one in my family has shot one. Well, in at least in the 20th and 21st centuries. I wouldn't be surprised if some ancestor did, considering our historical and present antics.)

That would be cool...
The meeting me ...Err...I mean you ...and shooting a wheel lock...
Anytime Partner...
