Korean bow and arrow knowledge

Piece arrow, a mysterious weapon of Byzantium in the Middle Ages, is made of long water-saving bamboo, the barrel is 80cm long, the arrow is 4 1cm long, and it is made of alpine arrow bamboo without bamboo joints in the middle. The arrow is conical, and the steel nail has weight.

In order to improve combat effectiveness, long arrows are also used with a range of 500 meters. One arrow can shoot farther. The shaft of this kind of arrow is almost half shorter than that of ordinary arrows. When shooting an arrow, you must shoot it in a bucket.

Because it is short and light, the piece arrow flies very fast, and the flight distance is relatively longer than that of the long arrow. In wartime, this kind of arrow can't be used as an enemy or an enemy like a long arrow, because it can only be launched with a matching pipe. This kind of arrow is small in size, fast in speed, and can shoot far, so it is not easy to find and dodge or hit with weapons in time. Moreover, if this ultra-short arrow falls into the enemy's hands, it can't be used without a cylinder.

Disadvantages:

The launch time is relatively slow, and a good archery foundation is also needed, otherwise the arrow will easily slip during the launch and hurt the shooter. This kind of arrow is suitable for traditional bows and arrows and can also be used as a crossbow.

Low armor-piercing ability, only suitable for light infantry and mountain ambush. This technology was not used in ancient wars unless it was absolutely necessary.
