MythBusters - Hwacha

...








The Chinese weapon ...

The Chinese weapon you're thinking of is single-wheeled, smaller munitions, and functions in motion. The Korean Hwacha is a two-wheeled, large munitions, and stationary. The two are not the same, nor are they rip-off of each other. It would be like saying that M109 Paladin is basically the same design as an IAV Stryker. The two served very different functions in a war, and the designs look similar only when looked at superficially (have wheels, carts, and exploding arrows).

If only they were ...

If only they were still using these.

Altaic is a ...

Altaic is a disputed language group not a racial group. 2 different things my friend. Anyways this Hwacha is a rip off of Chinese invention.

The Hwacha is still my favorite thing that they've ever done.

The ones that aren't behind safety shields are stationary cameras with no one operating them.

I kind of wish I had a couple of these =/

The principle of ...

The principle of rocket-arrow was around in Asia for centuries, but it was not until Chosun Dynasty in Korea in 1500's where they successfully devised as a mass destructive weapon. Unlike the modern rockets, with Hwacha, you can see the spectacle of 1000 flaming rockets coming right at you. It must have been terrifying.

the british ...

the british narator guy i much cooler...just saying.

What, no safety ...

What, no safety shield for the camera guy?

Why watermark ...

Why watermark content you didn't make?

|||v__v...... such ...

|||v__v...... such a bragger.......

and don't make ...

and don't make accusations like what most kor nationalists do... they always make accusations even though they r the one who does it... There is something called expert papers on this. I don't think u read it at all...

I am not making ...

I am not making them morons. The book tried to cover facts like Ming dynasty's rule and 建州三衛 etc and etc. It is considered a good book for studying relationships and Northeastern ethnics, but it makes up stories like Hampu Kim or Kim dynasty, which is completely bizarre... How do u know what sources they drew upon?

ok last time I said ...

ok last time I said it out of memory, I found a fault in it, so I will resay it again to make it right. "满洲源流考"is done in "乾隆" period, which I always thought to be the 5th emperor becuz I always leave out Nurhachi. However, I still have strong doubts that the emperor wrote this... R u trying to mess around with the logic? Just becuz it is done during "乾隆" period,it doesn't mean that it is wrote by 乾隆 or said by 乾隆. And theonly official history should be "清史".

oh my god that ...

oh my god that altaic "brothership" again... do the ppl back at that time have an idea of what "altaic" means? As I said Altaic is loosely founded... if u try that to corner China u r just wrong... and r u actually talking about cavemen period or Jurchen period?

Have u ever read it ...

Have u ever read it?? If not don't support it....

@KoriSenbay"满洲源流考" ...

@KoriSenbay"满洲源流考" is making up a story that Jurchens' ancestor is Kor, and Jin dynasty's name derived from "Kim". They wish it to be true becuz the reason for writing that book to glorify Manchus' long past, and trying to cover some facts. However, it does not mean it is true according to jurchen Jin dynasty's"宗祖实录" their ancestor is a Jurchen living in Koryo... U can't say what they wished to make u think is the truth...

culture, living ...

culture, living style, written language, level of civilization, etc.... Kor is more similar China than to Jurchens... if that is political, I wonder why would Jurchen not be political?

and also it is just ...

and also it is just reasonable that "大金" is a continuation of "金", I don't know how do u relate it to this topic. And this "满洲源流考" r u sure it is done by the sixth emperor? I've always had doubt on this.... I believe this book is written during the time of " 乾隆", it is written by two Manchu beaurocrats, but I have strong doubt that "乾隆"actually said this..... the reason for writing this book is to show how long glorious Manchus' history is. It also covers some facts at same time

..... Basically, ...

..... Basically, majority of ppl don't agree, and who knows wether u guys have paid them?

It is not Jurchen ...

It is not Jurchen it is Manchu ok?? They r in two periods of time... Their name changed during that period. Jurchens never said they r Kor...... and u no wat? Kor once called Chin father country as well, so don't take it seriously it is very political!
