Small Gun
소총통 ( 小銃筒 )
With total length of 75.5 cm and diameter of 1.6 cm, this is one of the portable firearms made during the reign of King Seonjo (r. 1567-1608) of the Joseon Dynasty. Having a more advanced form than the seungja chongtong gun, it is longer than the latter with its bamboo-like joints evenly connected. The gun barrel is slightly bent to enable the bullets to receive a more powerful force during the shooting process and to reach long distances. The barrel of the gun has been made long so that the firearm does not leak and the bullets can hit the mark, and the powder chamber has been made slightly thick.
