# Chu-ko-nu

Mingi dünastia aegne vibupüss
Chu-ko-nu (ehk **korduv amb** (hiina keeles 連弩, *Lián Nǔ*) või **Zhuge amb** (kolme riigi ajastu aegse Zhuge Liangi järgi, hiina keeles 諸葛弩, *Zhūgě nǔ*)) on amb, mis leiutati Hiinas sõdivate riikide ajastul. Relv on konstrueeritud nii, et selle vinnastamiseks, laadimiseks ja vabastamiseks piisab ühestainsast liigutusest.

Vanimad tõendid vibupüssi kohta pärinevad Chu riigi ajast. Tol ajal valmistatud relvade püstolkäepidemed erinesid hiljem Mingi dünastia ajal tavaliseks saanud ambude omast.

Kuigi Zhuge amb oli Hiinas kasutusel pikka aega, kuni Qingi dünastia lõpuni, ei peetud seda üldiselt sõjarelvaks. Seda kasutasid tihti naised näiteks kodu kaitsmiseks. Lisaks oli see jahirelv.
