前面翻东西的时候无意间发现了洋人对与《武编》中对满天星“下安药处厚于上面”的描述相应的结构的解释。这种将炮中后截加厚一层的做法似乎是一类葡萄牙炮(不限于长炮,隼炮、射石炮均可能有)的特点,其可追溯到16世纪上半叶,与《武编》年代相合,另外骆驼炮的加强环(应该是炮腹那圈)也在此类。我把原文发下面,方便各位可以自行翻译(个人英语水平渣):The step-down reinforcement band is a feature shared by a Portuguese bastard
double culverin (C-4), a Portuguese eagle (C-5/A), and a Portuguese stone-thrower (C-6)
at the Museu Militar, all dating to the first half of the 16th century. The first gun also
bears a three-leaf pattern around its sunken touchhole, similar to that of MAH 2. The
last gun (C-6) has the same simple astragal reinforcement rings as MAH 2, as does a
Portuguese camelo (C-7), which, again, dates to the first half of the 16th century. C-7
also has the remains of a lifting ring at the breech, similar to MAH 2.
