Chu-Ko-Nu III

Later Ming-era workshops further refined the Chu Ko Nu's material choices and magazine mechanism, reducing jams and extending effective range without sacrificing the weapon's signature high rate of fire. Coastal garrisons still deployed it systematically against pirate raids in the 16th century, long after firearms dominated elsewhere — its simple maintenance and minimal training requirements kept it indispensable in times of crisis. In the game this is the strongest stage of the Chu Ko Nu line, with the highest damage and longest range in the entire line.
