Jiaozhi Arquebus), and noted its similarity to Zhua Wa Chong/Java arquebus.<ref name=":8">{{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 name=":10">{{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 |quote=漢,趙曄《吳越春秋,王使公子光傳》以刺王僚,貫甲達背./清,李調元《南越筆記,粵人善鳥槍》其曰爪哇銃者,形如强弩,以繩懸絡臂上,遇敵萬銃齊發,貫甲數重. .《晉書,李歆傳》士業聞,引兵還,爲遜所逼,士業親貫甲先登,大敗之.}}</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>
