Fire Lance

The Fire Lance (Name is speculative) is a Siege Unit (or "Siege Infantry") used by the Chinese in Tale of the Dragon. The fire lance can be seen in the "He Bo" teaser behind some Chu Ko Nu and Halberdiers.

History
The Fire Lance or fire spear was one of the first gunpowder weapons in the world. Most fire lances are a spear with one or more flamethrower attached.

The earliest fire lances were spear-like weapons combining a bamboo tube containing gunpowder and projectiles tied to a Chinese spear. Upon firing, the charge ejected a small projectile or poison dart along with the flame. These fire lances had a range of only a few feet. Being a weapon that combines with a spear, it was initially used as a hand-to-hand weapon with the gunpowder shot designed to give the wielder an edge in close-quarter combat.
