비격진천뢰 ( 飛擊震天雷 )
Invented by Yi Jang-son during the reign of King Seonjo (r. 1567-1608) in the mid-Joseon Period, the long-distance bomb shell was used for killing and injuring men and horses. The surface was made of cast iron, resembling a round gourd; the inside was made such that gunpowder and round metal, which were thin metal pieces, could be loaded. During gunfire, it fires using the gourd-shaped mortar. It consists of the wooden barrel whose diameter is 21 cm and whose circumference of 68 cm goes around a fuse, bamboo tube into which the wooden barrel goes (diameter: 5.2 cm), round metal, and iron lid (diameter: 7.6 cm × 8.4 cm).
