Thomas Smith, in his &quot; Additions to the Book of 

 Gunnery, both pleasant and profitable,&quot; published in 

 quarto, 1643, black letter, mentions &quot; certain short 

 muskets of an inch, or very near an inch bore, out of 

 which you may shoot either chained bullets, or half a 

 score pistol bullets, or half a dozen harquebus bullets 

 at one shot, or you may shoot out of the same fire 

 arrows made with strong shafts, feathered with horn, 

 or with common feathers, glued and bound on with 

 thread. When you are to shoot a fire arrow out of any 

 of these pieces, you must not give the piece her full 

 loading of powder.&quot; He further notices that &quot; The 

 string made fast to the end of the fire-work is to keep 

 the arrow straight in his passage.&quot;
