👉 The flame weapon, also known as a fire lance or pyrotechnic spear, is an ancient incendiary weapon that combines elements of both fire and projectiles. It typically consists of a spear or lance with a hollowed-out tip that can be filled with flammable materials, such as gunpowder or charcoal. When fired, the flame-laden tip ignites upon impact with a target, creating a powerful and destructive fireball that can burn through armor and ignite flammable materials over a wide area. This weapon was used by various cultures throughout history, notably during the Warring States period in China and by medieval European armies, making it a versatile and formidable tool in siege warfare and battlefield combat.
