Last night Mythbusters test some Hwacha
The episode title was Busters Cut Alcohol Myths.
Hwacha or Hwach’a (화차; 火車) was an anti-personnel gunpowder weapon developed and used in Korea. It had the ability to fire up to 200 explosive arrows at one time from a range of 500 meters. Its prototypes were developed as a secret weapon in the 1400s under King Sejong the Great.
The weapon consists of a two-wheeled cart carrying a launch pad or board, filled with holes into which the ammunition is inserted. These small rockets are attached to Gungdo “bow-arrows”, which shoot about 100 to 200 iron spikes at one time upon exploding. During combat, the projectiles are attached to the arrows, ignited and fired. They would travel about 500 yards and explode on contact. This ammunition was transported on wheelbarrows.
Some East Asian historians believe this technological breakthrough alongside the turtle ship in the mid-16th century had a distinctive effect during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598). But sources on both the turtle ship and hwacha are too scarce to really say much about this. Today, hwacha appear in Korean museums, national parks, and popular culture.
I just find that this isn’t first time they do it. On the October 22, 2008 MythBusters built and tested another hwacha.
