"Not bad, quite fast."

Lynn rubbed Lydia's head to show encouragement, then reached out to take the beautifully crafted musket and examined it closely.

What he had Lydia and the others research and manufacture was naturally a flintlock gun!

Compared to the early matchlock and arquebus, the flintlock gun had advantages such as faster firing speed, lighter weight, smaller caliber, shorter barrel, and less recoil. It also reduced the chance of misfire due to dampness in the rain.

It was already a very perfected firearm; since its invention by a clockmaker in the early 16th century, it had been popular until it gradually got replaced in the 19th century.

As for the more advanced percussion cap gun, although it wasn't impossible to make, its ammunition required a primer, and with Iyeta's current level of magic industry, it wasn't suitable for mass production.

But the flintlock gun only needed lead bullets to fire, and was also very cheap!
