Fire-arrows!

Thanks for sharing Capt Richard I P. the debunking of fire arrows.
That is one reason why the ancient used catapults to launch very big rocks, dead animals and sometimes burning stuff. :-)

Funny, but... Wasted a lot of time explaining their inefficiency as anti-personnel weapons and never touched on the historical or archaeological record. Sadly, modern man has a sketchy record recreating ancient or even medieval technologies without first studying the records. Still, very entertaining...

Excellent post! Informative and hilarious.
