[Archive] Huo Qiang (火鎗) (Patreon)

Note: This is an outdated version of my article about Huo Qiang, kept here for archival purpose. Current version of the same article can be read here.

The weapon known as Huo Qiang (火鎗, fire lance) is actually not a fire "lance",  as it is the combination of a Mao Lian Tang (茅鐮鎲) and two linked Pen Tong (噴筒) flamethrowers. It is only six chi in length, which is rather short for a polearm.
