Firing the Lance
The Chinse Fire Lance shot out any types of projectiles that worked. It could shoot many things, ranging from simple scrap metal to poisonous darts. How it would work is you would ignite the fuse, which led to the gunpowder. The powder would explode, shooting out a close range projectile along with a small flame. Being combined with a hand to hand combat weapon meant that it was used to gain the edge in combat.
The first firearm right before you.

The Chinese Fire Lance obviously originated from China, and it was first mentioned in the 10th century, but at 1260 it began to spread into many other varieties, which eventually led to cannons and other gunpowder related things. So, you have this spear to thank for all of your first person shooter video games, and the guns many of you dream about.
This relates most to science and engineering technology.
The Chinese used technology to combine a spear with a short range gun.
They used Science to figure out how to use the gunpowder to their advantage.
The Chinese used engineering to figure out the size of the tube, and how much gunpowder would be used.
The Chinese Fire Lance was one of the greatest inventions. It paved the way, led the way, and made more ways for future guns, rockets, and many other gunpowder and gasoline powered things.
