戴梓(1649—1726年),浙江人,深諳火器,善詩畫,通曉天文算法,曾贏得康熙皇帝的賞識,命以學士銜值南書房,官至翰林院侍讀。後遭誣陷褫職,流放關東,死於鐵嶺。戴梓曾先後製造了三種火器:“威遠將軍炮”、“蟠腸鳥槍”和“連珠火統”。有的在當時發揮了巨大作用,對後世火器製造也產生了一定的影響。近年來許多專家學者曾論及戴梓的“連珠火铳”(以下簡稱“戴铳”)。有說這是一項領先於世界的發明,對“連珠”作了“連續發射”的解釋(《中國歷史上的科學家和能工巧匠》第135頁);有說它與近現代的機關槍很相似(《中國軍事史·兵器》第一卷95頁)。然諸說都未能全面地從構造、 Daizi (1649-1726), a native of Zhejiang province, was well versed in firearms, good poetry and painting, and was familiar with astronomical algorithms. He had won the emperor’s appreciation of Kangxi and ordered a bachelor’s degree in his study. After being framed by the post, exiled Kanto, died of Tieling. Dai Zi has successively manufactured three kinds of firearms: “General Wei Yuan Gun”, “Pan Gujiao” and “Lian Zhu Fire”. Some played a huge role at the time and had a certain impact on the manufacture of firearms in the future. In recent years, many experts and scholars have discussed Dai Zi’s “Lianzhu fire 铳” (hereinafter referred to as “铳 铳”). It has been said that this is a world-leading invention that gives “Lianzhu” an explanation of “continuous launching” (“Chinese historians and craftsmen” p. 135); it is said to be very similar to modern machine guns “Chinese military history and weapons” Vol. I 95 p. However, all that have failed to fully construct,
