I believe there was some limited manufacture of Wheellocks in the UK but they where not as numerous as continental makers . Other than the challenge & novelty of wheellocks there is nothing other to commend them no ballistic advantage or rate of fire or surety of fire . they might have done away with the glowing match only this one plus but that's about it and considering the hummonguss effort required to produce them there is nothing to commend them other .The English lock & snaphance are enough bother. but a bit less fussy at least .
