Definition
Plural of gunflint; multiple pieces of flint stone used in flintlock firearms to create sparks for ignition.
Etymology
Plural of 'gunflint' (gun + flint). These were mass-produced items during the height of flintlock weapons, roughly 1650-1850, making them among the most numerous manufactured goods of the era.
Kelly Says
A single gunflint could fire hundreds of times before becoming too dull, but armies had to stockpile millions—the logistics of producing and transporting gunflints was as important to military success as producing gunpowder itself.
