Not exactly. The ...

Not exactly. The most common hwacha arrow was an anti-personel piece with a forward discharge "charge" that would explode *into* the target, sometimes acting as an incendiary, but more often, blasting into the target.  Some larger variants did in fact explode with shrapnel, but were less successful than those with a focused forward blast. Concentrating damage into penetration depth would've been more effective on ships and personel.

But... the real ...

But... the real hwachas' artillery explodes!

That was awsome but ...

That was awsome but I think that Spartans could defeat the Koreans at that time. The Spartans would never stand a chance against them if they didn't have there sheilds.without there shields they wouldn't have won half there battles. They used there sheilds as defence and offense.

Note to self: Do ...

Note to self: Do not stand in front of the Hwacha.

Imagine a dozen of these parked hub-to-hub. You're a Japanese footsoldier standing in the ranks with several thousand of your comrades. The advance is sounded on te conch shell trumpet. You all start marching towards the Korean lines in formation. The Koreans wait until you've passed a certain pre-determined point, then light the fuses...

i get your point, buy you are doing it wrong lol. more like ancient version of mrls. if you dont know the difference between mrls and sam, search.

Oh, so when people ...

Oh, so when people correct you, you turn offensive and insult them? I'm not sure that's the way to go. It, in turn, makes me feel the need to justify my own comment. I'll do so by pointing out that you didn't say it was similar, you actually said it's an ancient SAM. You probably didn't know what SAM stands for when posting that comment. I understand that. But now you do know, and you thank me by calling me an idiot. Well played.

You people can't ...

You people can't think figuratively can you? I said an ancient version. I didn't say "oh wow its a sam!" because its not. I just said its similar and thats what it looks like when it fires. So stfu you idiots.

SAM stands for ...

SAM stands for Surface-to-Air Missile. These aren't anti-air (AA) rockets. Still, I get what you mean. And an amazing weapon nonetheless.

Thats why its an ...

Thats why its an ANCIENT version dimwit
