While European militaries prioritized speed and convenience, East Asian counterparts emphasized accuracy through rigorous manufacture and user training. This difference did not indicate a fundamental divergence in military capacity but influenced the development of ballistics science in the West. The article highlights the interpretive flexibility of smoothbore ballistics and calls for a reassessment of the role of science in arms development. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of World History is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
