In the Far East, a jingal, gingal or gingall (), from Hindi "janjal", was a type of large matchlock gun, usually a light piece mounted on a swivel. It fired iron bullets 1.25 inches in diameter and was classified as a form of wall gun either by design or use. It sometimes took the form of a heavy musket fired from a rest, and usually required a crew of two men. The weapon was used by the Chinese in the 19th century, such as by the Taiping armies, imperial forces during the Opium Wars, and Chinese rebels in Hong Kong during the Six Day War of 1899.
