The weapons made in the Ming Dynasty are very different from those made in the Song Dynasty, and there are many creations of their own, such as the fangs designed by Qi Jiguang and other troops for the purpose of resisting Japan.

The manufacturing level of guns in Ming Dynasty was very high, which played a great role in border riots and civil strife. The self-made firearms in the Ming Dynasty were not only guns, but also mines, mines, meteor guns, rapid-fire guns, ten thousand enemy bombs and so on.

For example, the long knives, waist knives and short knives in the Ming Dynasty are all imitation Japanese knives, which are very different from those in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

In the Ming dynasty, knives and other short soldiers were used more than swords. Ordinary swords were born out of Tang Jian, and the famous ones are Seven-Star Sword and Fishbone Sword. Ming people like to use mace. In the Ming Dynasty, there were miscellaneous short soldiers, including bronze melons, iron javelins, short-handled tridents, halberd spears and iron whip.
