Snapping matchlock arquebus from еhe Bavarian manuscript

Thank you very much for this Spidorov!

Though not my area of interest, but man that's one hell of a gun !.. Note the bowman near the gunner; it appears that the arquebusier was at this early stage still a part of a coherent "missle" unit rather than a separate one. Also, the war-wagon very much reminds me of the one used by the Hussites
(note the nasty looking "scythe-blades" attached to the side of each cartwheel.)

Regards,
Samuel
