The Ottomans must have used thousands of matchlocks during the period. But generally speaking, there are very few examples remaining today....

Probably upgraded to later style locks. as was common throughout the world. Match to wheel, wheel to miquelet, to percussion... and in Japan, matchlock to bolt action!
