These concealable firearms where most likely equiped with a wheellock mechanism. And depending on who you ask (time period migjt differ), a gun like the monks gun could have done the job.

Here are the steps to arm a wheellock gun, extracted from a recent movie.
First the hero pushes forwards the striker harm which holds the flint, followed by the winding of the striking wheel (can you hear the sound?). Finally the striking arm is pulled back to the flash pan and is ready for action. We can see the hero is not in a hurry, but he actually ends up not carrying with the execution... as heroes should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfUl...ature=youtu.be |
