A lança de fogo, foi uma arma de pólvora muito antiga que apareceu na China do século X e foi usada com grande efeito durante as Guerras Jin–Sung. Ela começou como um pequeno dispositivo pirotécnico anexado a uma arma semelhante a uma lança, usado para obter uma vantagem crítica de choque logo no início de um combate corpo a corpo.[1]
À medida que a produção da pólvora evoluiu, a descarga explosiva foi aumentada e detritos ou pelotas adicionados, dando-lhe alguns dos efeitos de uma combinação moderna de lança-chamas e espingarda, mas com um alcance muito curto (cerca de 3 metros ou 10 pés), e apenas um tiro (algumas foram projetadas para dois tiros). Em lanças de fogo maiores e mais poderosas posteriores, a ponta da lança foi descartada, pois essas versões eram muito pesadas para serem usadas em combate corpo a corpo. Elas são considerados uma "proto-arma", o antecessor do canhão de mão e a ancestral de todas as armas de fogo.[2] Algumas lanças de fogo eram grandes demais para um único homem empunhar. Elas eram colocados no solo em uma estrutura de suporte que podem ser considerados "proto-canhões".[3]
