An Early and Important Munich Military Matchlock Musket by Peter Peck, ca. 1575-80

A bit like the story of David and Goliath.. "modernized" to fit a monstress matchlock gun and probably a Italian stileto.

I would love to see a movie of this monster firing or even better, feel the recoil myself. I have shot a few percussion firearms at a reenactment in France, but it would be dwarfed by such an experience.

Some more close-ups of my heavy Peter Peck matchlock musket from the first posts.
Enjoy the views from different angles.
