An illustration of an ampulliform Chinese hand cannon with a gunpowder charge shooting a blast of flame with lead pellets as coviative projectiles. The weapon was called the 'phalanx-charging fire-gourd' ('chong zhen huo hu-lu'). This illustration is from the Huolongjing, a 14th century military treatise compiled by Liu Ji and Jiao Yu, with the preface added in the year 1412.
This illustration also appears on page 238 of Joseph Needham's book Science and Civilization in China: Volume 5, Part 7.
