    One striker to light the lantern - I guess it’s black powder powered, would give you 3 seconds of light and a big fluffy cloud of stinky soot. Another striker is to actually fire, if you can aim through the soot cloud. Genius!

      Might have a priming charge of blackpowder to light it, but it’s probably oil in the lantern.

      EDIT: Page suggests it might be a candle
