A jingal (抬枪 taiqiang), an exceptionally long firearm used as precision artillery. By the end of 19th century, rifled versions were developed by the Qing. The extractor, firing pin, and trigger mechanism were all typical of Mauser type rifles. The range on these weapons far exceeded the extremely outdated muskets still used by militia and traditional armies of the Qing. They were quite dangerous to face due to their long range, but were far too heavy and unwieldy to enjoy widespread usage in late 19th century battlefields. The jingals used in the Six-Day War, however, were older models. These were essentially oversized smooth-bore, muzzle-loading muskets.
