wheelockpistol

Miniature wheellock pistol made in the early 17th century. A wheellock, wheel-lock or wheel lock, is a friction-wheel mechanism to cause a spark for firing a firearm. It was the next major development in firearms technology after the matchlock and the first self-igniting firearm. The mechanism is so-called because it uses a rotating steel wheel to provide ignition.

The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard arguments Tuesday after a divided three-judge appeals panel earlier ruled that the conspiracy case against Ali Hamza al-Bahlul is legally flawed because conspiracy is not a war crime.
