"Flambeau" literally means “torch” in French, which hints at fire. A flambeau drill usually refers to a torch-carrying routine or practice. A flambeau drill can also be a firearm ignition system used in some antique or reproduction firearms, particularly in historical contexts like flintlock or percussion rifles. Some flambeau drills are part of long-standing cultural or military traditions. Practicing them reinforces discipline, teamwork, and respect for historical rituals.Acquisition
