[[Đại Việt]] was considered by the Ming to have produced particularly advanced matchlocks during the 16–17th century, surpassing even Ottoman, Japanese, and European firearms. European observers of the [[Lê–Mạc War]] and later [[Trịnh–Nguyễn War]] also noted the proficiency of matchlock making by the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese matchlock was said to have been able to pierce several layers of iron armour, kill two to five men in one shot, yet also fire quietly for a weapon of its caliber.

Jiaozhi Arquebus), and noted its similarity to Zhua Wa Chong/Java arquebus.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Bozhong |first=Li |url=https://booksarchive.google.co.idorg/books?id=zEe5DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT142&dq=%E7%88%AA%E5%93%87%E9%8A%83&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1q4eR6d36AhUGR2wGHU0ADzUQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&q=%E7%88%AA%E5%93%87%E9%8A%83&f=falsedetails/li_bozhong_the-gun-and-the-ledger/page/141/mode/2up |title=火槍與帳簿：早期經濟全球化時代的中國與東亞世界 (GunsThe Gun and Booksthe Ledger: China and the East Asian World in the Early EraAge of Early Economic Globalization) |publisher=三 聯經出版事業公司聯書書店店 (UnitedSanlian Economics Publishing CompanyBookstore) |year=20192017 |isbn=9789570853933978-7-108-05674-0 |___location=Beijing |pages=141}}</ref><ref group="Note">It is to be noted that the Vietnamese (Jiaozhi) arquebus may refer to several kind of matchlock weapon: Arquebus in the model of istinggar, arquebus with bipod under the barrel, arquebus with tripod and swivel mount, and [[jingal]]-styled arquebus.</ref>
