  Handgunner
Description:
A handgunner was a medieval rifleman. Early hand guns had iron barrels that were held behind a large shield and fired either by a hot wire pressed against the touch-hole, or by a glowing slow match made from cord soaked in saltpetre (potassium nitrate). Inside a castle, guns could be fired through round loopholes in the walls or long horizontal slots for larger weapons.
