Wheel-lock
From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
A wheel-lock, or wheellock, is a type of firing mechanism used for firearms. The term also serves as a general term for those firearms using the mechanism. Wheellock firearms are particularly popular among the forces of the Cities of Sigmar, especially the Freeguilds.[1a][4a][5a]
Design
The most renowned Wheel-lock firearms are Duardin-crafted pieces, which are designed to keep out moisture and are often engraved with runes. Such guns can be rugged and practical in design, but their machine work is of peerless quality.[3a][3b]
Types of Wheel-lock Firearms
A wide variety of firearms can be built with Wheel-locks including handguns, such as pistols, and rifles.[1a][2a][3a]
