Tu Huo Qiang
text:
Tu Huo Qiang was a precursor to guns invented in the 1250s. It consisted of a moso bamboo tube which had been partially hollowed out and loaded with gunpowder and a single projectile, called the zi kē (子窠). Chinese historian Fiang Jiasheng in the 1950s first posited it as evidence of the first "occlusive bullet", whereby a "pellet wad" occluded the barrel.
