Danbooru の英語定義
The first firing mechanism or "firelock" used in antique firearms. It used an arm that held a burning piece of match cord that would be lowered into a pan of gunpowder that would ignite the powder and fire the gun. This mechanism could be as simple as an "S" shaped lever called a serpentine that would lower the arm into the pan, or it could use a locking mechanism and spring that upon releasing the lock would "snap" the arm rapidly into the pan. The latter type of matchlock were referred to as "snap matchlocks." Most arquebuses, including the Japanese tanegashima (gun), were matchlocks.
