[[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. The Chinese called this weapon Jiao Chong (交銃, lit. Jiaozhi Arquebus), and noted its similarity to Zhua Wa Chong/Java arquebus.<ref>{{Cite book |last=调元 (Tiaoyuan) |first=李 (Li) |url=https://ctext.org/wiki.pl?if=en&chapter=902098&remap=gb |title=南越笔记 (South Vietnamese Notes) |year=1777 |pages=268-269 |via=Chinese Text Project}}</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=東洋學 硏究所 (Institute of Oriental Studies) |title=漢韓大辭典 (Chinese-Korean Dictionary) |publisher=檀國大學教出版部 (Dankook University Department of Education and Publication) |year=1999 |isbn=9788970922430 |pages=45}}</ref><ref name=":6">{{Cite book |last=Bozhong |first=Li |url=https://archive.org/details/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 (The Gun and the Ledger: China and the East Asian World in the Age of Early Economic Globalization) |publisher=三 聯聯書書店店 (Sanlian Bookstore) |year=2017 |isbn=978-7-108-05674-0 |___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>
