The skill of using the gun is very skillful, far exceeding other long weapons, and it is very difficult to practice. A gun can stab or sweep an opponent like a stick, which is extremely lethal after practice.

There are many kinds of guns according to their different shapes, but they all have one common feature, that is, a bunch of red tassels are usually added to the guns.

What's the use of this red tassel? Just for decoration?

Of course not. It has several uses.

Firstly, the gun force is judged by the fluttering of the red tassel. The red tassel is very light, and it will flutter with it when practicing gun skills. We can judge the strength from the fluttering of the red tassel so as to correct it in time.

The second and most important use is that tassels can suck blood. This is very useful in actual combat. If you stab your opponent, the red tassel can stop the blood spilled by your opponent. If blood flows to the gun shaft, it is easy to slip and affect normal use. With the red tassel, the blood will be absorbed by the red tassel or flow away along it.

Third, dancing the red tassel can distract your opponent. The red tassel is brightly colored and will dance up and down with the waving of the gun, which is dazzling. This can play a role in confusing and distracting opponents.

In a word, the red tassel on the gun is not added for no reason, let alone for decoration, but it is of great use, which is also the embodiment of the wisdom of the ancients.
