History

The introduction of gunpowder-based weapons in the Nusantara archipelago can be traced back to the Mongol invasion of Java (1293), where the Chinese-Mongol troops used cannon (炮—Pào) against the forces of Kediri in Daha.[4]Шаблон:Rp[5][6]Шаблон:Rp[7]Шаблон:Rp Between the 14th–15th century, there are local sources mentioned about bedil (gun or gunpowder-based weapon), but since this is a broad term caution must be taken to identify what type of weapon used in a passage.[8][9] A small hand-gun dated from the year 1340 thought to be Chinese was found in Java, but the dating may have been wrong.[6]Шаблон:Rp

Ma Huan (Zheng He's translator) visited Majapahit in 1413 and took notes about the local customs. His book, Yingya Shenlan, explained about Javanese marriage ceremony: when the husband was escorting his new wife to the marital home, various instruments were sounded, including gongs, drums, and huochong (fire-tube or hand cannon).[10][11]Шаблон:Rp It is probable that the Javanese hand cannon is modeled after Chinese ones. A Chinese pole cannon from 1421 A.D. has been found in the island of Java bearing the name of Emperor Yongle (1403–1425).[11]Шаблон:Rp The gun's ignition hole is protected from the rain by a cover connected with a hinge.[1]Шаблон:Rp

Haiguo Guangji (海国广记) and Shuyu zhouzi lu (殊域周咨錄) recorded that Java is vast and densely populated, and their armored soldiers and hand cannons (火銃—huǒ chòng) dominated the Eastern Seas.[12]Шаблон:Rp[13][14]

Duarte Barbosa recorded the abundance of gunpowder-based weapons in Java ca. 1514. The Javanese were deemed as expert gun casters and good artillerymen. The weapon made there include one-pounder cannons, long muskets, spingarde (arquebus), schioppi (hand cannon), Greek fire, guns (cannons), and other fire-works.[15]Шаблон:Rp[16][6]Шаблон:Rp In the 1511 siege of Malacca, the Malays were using cannons, matchlock guns, and "firing tubes".[17]Шаблон:Rp The gunpowder weapons of Malacca were not made by the Malay people but were imported from Java.[18]Шаблон:Rp[19]Шаблон:Rp

Local babad (historical text) of the post-17th century occasionally mention bedil tombak.[20] In Lombok example of such babads were babad Lombok, babad Mengui, and babad Sakra.[21]Шаблон:Rp[22]Шаблон:Rp[23] They are also mentioned in Sundanese and Balinese texts.[24]Шаблон:Rp[25]Шаблон:Rp During the Bali-Lombok war (ca. early 19th century–end of 19th century), a part of Karangasem troops were armed with bedil tombak.[23]
