Jukjangchang
The jukjangchang (Korean: 죽장창; lit. bamboo long spear), is a Korean weapon. The jukjangchang is first mentioned in the Muyesinbo (1759). The spear was made from bamboo and is about 4.2 m (14 ft) long. The jukjangchang was made either or whole bamboo stalk or pieces of bamboo glued and woven together. The latter type was stronger.[1] The bamboo made the jukjangchang more flexible than the ordinary jangchang. Soldiers could use the jukjangchang to keep the enemy at a distance. References
