Mythbusters build a Hwacha
Submitted by Milica on Thu, 2008/11/13 - 14:06.
As part of its October 22, 2008 episode, the Mythbusters took on the challenge of proving the veracity of the medieval Korean hwacha, a weapon able to fire dozens of exploding arrows at a time. The results are chronicled on YouTube.
The Hwacha was developed in the 15th century as a wheeled platform from which to launch numerous arrows at the enemy. Read more about the Hwacha on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwacha. View the YouTube video of the Mythbusters experiment by clicking on "original article" below. |
