Shen Xian Zi Fa Pai Che Chong (神仙自發排車銃)

Drawing of a Shen Xian Zi Fa Pai Che Chong, from 'Wu Bei Zhi (《武備志》)'.

Shen Xian Zi Fa Pai Che Chong (神仙自發排車銃, lit. 'Immortal's self-firing wheel gun'), also known as Shen Xian Zi Fa Pai Cha Chong (神仙自發排叉銃, lit. 'Immortal's self-firing fork gun') and Shen Huo Dao Chong (神火刀銃, lit. 'Divine fire bladed gun'), was a weapon that was very similar to Ping Guang Bu Zhan Sui Di Gun (平曠步戰隨地滾), but took the concept even further. The weapon was made of a hollowed tree log filled with gunpowder and came with multiple poisoned spikes, guns, flamethrowers, and poison smoke tubes. It also had a waterproofed fuse wired in such a way that the guns and flamethrowers would fire in succession (instead of firing everything at the same time).

Unlike Ping Guang Bu Zhan Sui Di Gun, this weapon was not thrown by hand or rolled down a slope, nor was it propelled by rockets. Instead, both ends of the tree trunk were tethered by iron chain to a crane mounted on top of fortress wall. It was to be dropped onto besieging troops during siege defence. Essentially, the weapon functions as a gunblazing, fire-and-smoke spewing, spiked swinging log trap.
