Chinese fire lance from the 10th Century?.........it it made from bamboo?
I also made a Chinese weapon, that's is a bit older then that when it was first introduced , around the 4th century BCE.....
THE REPEATING CROSSBOW ( Zhuge crossbow)
I made it several years ago as a winter project, except I made the magazine to hold 15 bolts instead of the standard 10 bolts. it's accurate enough at very short distance......it can hit a man size target at 20-30 meters.
but that's not what it was used for, as a accurate weapon ............you arm a few thousand Chinese with these thing, and have them fire at the enemy to the tune of 1 bolt every 1-2 seconds........... well you get the point, it would make Agincourt look like a water balloon fight
I'm glad we didn't know about these things when I was a kid, we would have probably murdered each other
this is how it works, BTW that's not me found this on YOUTUBE
Yes a fire lance. Many historical conceptions of what it might shoot. Some prob like roman candles. This one shoots rocks from paper bamboo barrel using high/low P sys like 40mms. I wont go onto detail but it worked.
I built one of these too. It was surprising. Range just under 200 yds with tiny bolts. Made for indirect fire. If we had these as kids......
Love those AK-74s...and that bespoke sidelock shotgun must’ve really set you back
¿¿¿ That's me???
Stuck in head?? Daum. War darts are dangerous. I have a replica.
Since we started. Here is a 1000# + beast that will shoot throught 16 ga steel with ease. Built by a good friend with minimal help from me.
NICE!!!! reminds me of my Dungeons and Dragons days!¿¿¿ That's me???
