Developed by a conjunction of imperial gunsmiths and known also as Hóngyípào, this piece of artillery is the epitome of perfection of Asian craftsmanship upon European designs. Based loosely on the Culverin models employed in the West, these cannons have received further improvements, increasing their firepower and reducing their weight.
