''Jingyuan'' was armed with a smaller number of large sized naval guns, as opposed to later ships of this type (such as the Royal Navy ) which carried a larger number of smaller guns. This was because the medium-calibre quick-firing gun had yet to be introduced, thus a warship's firepower at the time was largely a function of individual shell weight rather than volume of fire.
