Поправка: percussion lock - ударный замок, flintlock - кремниевый замок

Muzzle-loading shoulder firearm developed in 16th-century Spain. Designed as a larger version of the harquebus, muskets were fired with matchlocks until flintlocks were developed in the 17th century; flintlocks were replaced by percussion locks in the early 19th century

Поправка снимается: percussion lock - это капсюльный замок.

wheellock

Абсолютно пока не уверен, но где-то близко истина.

The next major technology leap beyond the matchlock is the wheellock, where the need to maintain a burning cord is replaced with a sparking mechanism.
