Like with all versions of the arquebus, the espingarda ... www.xenophongroup.com/santiago/apprec.htm - 43k Like with all versions of the arquebus, the espingarda continuously underwent evolution in design. Quesada identifies two general types of espingarda. Those with early simple serpentine-lever triggering devices, the llanas (plain) type. The other version, de llave (with gun-lock), was a more advanced matchlock. [14] The handgun had, by 1481, passed beyond the awkward, hand-held, match-lighting phase. The contemporary carvings on the choir stalls of the Cathedral of Toledo show many espingarderos shooting alongside the crossbowmen. In these carvings, the espingardas are being fired and aimed from the shoulder by the Castilian infantrymen. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2009-04-05 20:47:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Warfare and Firearms in Fifteenth Century Morocco - [ Traducir esta página ]The earliest and most unambiguous reference to 'hand-guns' in Morocco is in Ruy de ....
