The spark guns had a flint or flint stone, which when the hammer was operated produced the spark that ignited the gunpowder. All these guns required manual reloading of their ammunition after each shot. The ammunition, which was introduced through the muzzle, consisted of gunpowder, projectile and paper block, which served as a stopper to keep the previous two compressed inside the barrel.

FrentIn the duels with swords, the use of these weapons equaled the adversaries, since they were in the same conditions at the time of firing.

The duel was developed by the will of one of the parties to wash an insult to his honor. The goal was not generally to kill the opponent, but to achieve "satisfaction", for example by restoring one's honor by putting life at stake to defend it. In many countries, duels were not recognized as a legal means of saving honor, so duelists resorted to doing it in remote places and almost always at dawn.
