Mongols used the signaling arrows at night or in foggy areas. The scout shoots the whistle and the rest of the horse archers will shoot to the exact location based on the sound. Yes they like bats use echo locations. Infact, this is the exact method how one prince killed his dad to become a king. It is said his dad's body was completely covered in arrows.

We'll see how next winter goes, last winter went way better than I expected. At least it seems. Wouldn't be surprised if record-numbers of Canadians have been freezing/starving to death lately but Government-paid media have just decided to instead broadcast about how climate change causes forest fires even though scientists say climate change in no way causes forest fires. I thought of something funny today, because 'science' is not 'settled' on A LOT of things, and if Covid and the vaccine taught us anything, what science says can be total shit and/or can change in part or in whole or in its entirety within the span of months. Also, masks are useless with Covid, people who made a big deal about it may as well have made a big deal about setting tables right after the Titanic struck the iceberg. IT... MEANS... NOTHING... except you virtue-signalling and trying to have authoritarian control over other people for a power high. But yeah, funny thought... Science is not settled, but I know LOTS of people who ARE settled on the science. Politicians, mainstream media, and teachers. There's still scientists who say opposing things about climate change, and it goes back to what Albert Einstein said. A scientist came up with a list of something like 200 scientist's signatures against his Theory of Relativity or some such thing. Einstein responded something like "Very well, but why so many? All you needed was one signature." If one scientist disagrees, the science is not settled. End of. And the science of climate change causing forest fires and climate change being an 'emergency...' it is NOT settled lmao And go ahead, blah blah blah 'denier' blah blah blah. At least I think for my own DAMN self... because if I'm going to be wrong, I'd rather be my own type of wrong than to listen to what MOST PEOPLE'S wrong version of things is. If I perceive something is incorrect or untrue, then I pursue to discover where the true lies. Truth is all that matters.

Hollowpoint arrow

[@thepewplace1370]

Modern mechanicals act similarly to this: narrow flight cross section with extremely sharp steel blades that lever or cam outwards upon contact with flesh, cutting 2 to 4 very wide paths through the target (over 2 inches in some models, way bigger than most fixed broadheads).

[@daredemontriple6]

the crescent shaped "birds" arrowhead was actually more likely used for rabbits, hares, and other small game. The shape does two things: 1. it prevents the arrow destroying excessive amount of the animal by limiting it's penetration - the shock of the impact is enough to kill a small rodent or similar, and 'blunts' were often used to make sure the animal stayed totally untouched in that regard. But also, and most interestingly, it acts like a modern judo-point, which flips the arrow up in the air if it strikes the ground and not an animal. This means the arrow is easy to find again as it lays on top of the ground, whereas a warhead like a bodkin would easily slip under the turf never to be seen again. Also the broadhead without barbs, and the really wide one, would have been primarily for hunting. The first, without barbs, will slip out letting the blood seep out giving a hunter a blood trail to follow. The second just maximises damage for large game. In a battle, neither would be effective compared to the first barbed warhead which would stick into flesh and make it difficult for the soldier to move - imagine having a big arrow stuck in you and you can't pull it out!

[@yeasstt]

Not that you'd want to pull out an arrow. That's quite possibly the worst thing you can do

[@daredemontriple6]

@@yeasstt In a modern context sure - because in a modern context it's almost certainly just an archery accident, you can restrict movement as much as possible, lay down etc, and wait for the ambulance for proper care. In the context of a medieval battlefield however, a 2' long piece of ash sticking out of you is going to make it difficult to fight which might get you killed, not to mention the fact that the arrow itself will 'dig around' as you move and continue to do damage. It may well be better to remove the arrow if possible, pack the wound with some linen or something, and then seek aid once there's no risk of being killed by the enemy. Of course you may well die as a result of removing the arrow, but seeing as it was purposefully shot at you to begin with, the priority is probably on surviving the next 20 minutes, rather than not bleeding out in an hour or two.

[@Shocktrue1]

Your last paragraph is entirely inaccurate. Both arrows do exactly as described. In heated combat, with adrenaline flowing at the max, Fatah injuries aren't necessarily instantly fatal inquiries. A man with an arrow sticking out of his intestines in medieval times is almost certainly going to die from his wounds, but if he has enough adrenaline and willpower, he can snap that arrow off and fight on until something actually kills him, such as either more serious injury or blood loss. If the arrow out plugging the wound, blood loss is slow. Even if its digging around and destroying his intestines as he fights, but still keeping the blood mostly INSIDE, it will take more time to bleed to death. If blood is actively gushing from his body, no amount of adrenaline will keep him operating once his blood pressure drops below a certain threshold. The open would can turn this into a couple minutes or less, instead of 10 to 20 or more. And that's potentially enough time to kill or maim a lot of your comrades that would otherwise Not have been attacked by the arrow wounded man. And standard human tip broad heads will do little to quickly slow something the size of a horse in an adrenaline filled situation unless you get a lucky critical inquiry. The bigger head has more cutting arrow, so initially a better chance of hitting a critical area in general. And again, failing a critical kill, bigger head means bigger wound for the bigger animal, causing significantly more pain and bleeding on a creature that is only a useful mount if you can keep it under control and moving...

Oh you should check out single bevel broadheads. Most broadheads are ground and sharpened on both sides of the blade, small downside is they can stop or slow the arrow spin as they penetrate flesh. Single bevel broadheads are only ground on one side, acting like wings and can induce spin on their own. When they penetrate, the broadhead itself wants to keep spinning as it cuts. When it hits bone, it can split it apart; where as double bevels just punch through

It's not for gouging an animal's flesh. The wide arrow is how large the cut will be. It's the same size as a sword or spear stabbing into the animal. The arrow produces the same kind of wound but without having to get into the horse's path to do it. The arrowhead won't spin or do that much more damage after it's in.

Pym particle it grows when unpluged from the quiver its also why he seems to be able to fit so many

[@oneswimmingboy]

Bunny busters are simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. It's just like having the flat piece of a hammer head on the end of the arrow. So all that propulsive force rather than piercing skin, shatters bone.

[@canoodlepoodle7892]

Whistling arrows would be kinda cool in fiction. Theyre usually used as a silent alternative to guns but being able to attract or distract certain kinds of enemies would be fun.

[@DomCobb1]

Sounds like someone who offers arrowheads to John Wick before guns were invented 😂

I feel like I get generational ptsd from the sound of a whistling arrow which is funny because my heritage has like zero relation to any nomadic step peoples coming in and slaughtering everything as far as I know. But for some reason that sound, just scares the shit outta me.

A bodkin arrow can't pierce plate armour. It can however penetrate between the rings in a mail hauberk and the like.

[@chrisjones6002]

Tod Cutler has done some great tests on arrows vs armor if you haven't seen them.

[@chriswright8114]

​@@chrisjones6002and all current tests have shown that you aren't piercing plate.

[@chrisjones6002]

@chriswright8114 I never said otherwise. I think they might have gotten it to punch a hole in thinner plate like on arms but it wouldn't have been enough to cause much if any injury. It's been a while since I watched all of the videos.

[@chriswright8114]

@@chrisjones6002 even if it managed to pierce the plate, there's still a doublet or a gambeson to get through, and good luck with that. 🤣

[@chrisjones6002]

@@chriswright8114 I did say it wasn't enough to cause injury if it did penetrate.

It’s not pronounced ”Mag yarr” it’s more closely pronounced ”Muhdjyahr” which is also Hungarian for Hungarian.

[@Adagm]

Hell nah you just hit me with huvgjbcub right now bro, am gonna still call it mag yarr and not that gibberish.

[@Lattidude]

You cant really describe the gy sound with text but thats the closest ive seen.

[@customisemc]

Maj-arr

[@evilsharkey8954]

Hungarian is a really hard language for non-Hungarians to correctly pronounce because it has sounds most languages don’t use.

[@atyeszpapesz1426]

Magyar, bro just try to make it sound like whatever the google translate lady voice pronounces it it will never be the actual pronounciation by foreigners

[@agustinleal2556]

I want to see Green Arrow and Hawkeye use these kinds of arrows

[@Yes-fl4zc]

Most of these arrows are meant to cause a lot of damage, not always kill immediately. Those two have more futuristic arrows that will explode for example. These will cause too much suffering if you actually shoot a human in a movie, which is problematic. I've only seen Hawkeye shoot aliens in the movies.

[@sen7826]

​@@Yes-fl4zc the Arrow TV show did it all the time. He actually tortured or killed people.

Seen one of those bird arrows decapitate and split a turkeys face in half all at the same time. Those things are crazy

[@TheElite1102]

Those guys get surprised by that. I once walked in at Dick's Sporting Goods and the variety of arrow heads I saw at the archery aisle, it was ridiculous. And they looked waaay naughtier than those last he's shown 🤣

Never heard arrows called rounds before. It sounds weird asf.

[@NuttyCuts_]

They were comparing them to bullets which is something people are more familiar with

[@matthewhummel1572]

Imagine then, how strange to us it sounds when it was called the most advanced technology on the battlefield.

[@codemang87]

I can imagine that. At one point in time at least.

[@julianfarnam6246]

At one point "bullets" were small metal pebbles you tossed with slingshots

[@conorzurawski8657]

The crescent shaped tip also doesn't bury itself in the dirt as far so it's easier to retrieve

[@nickydekeuster5124]

That's why they are used for small animal hunting. The bird thing is debunked.

[@MsHojat]

@@nickydekeuster5124 birds are small animals, so it should still work. But yeah seems like it would apply to _any_ small game, not just birds.

[@nickydekeuster5124]

@@MsHojat You make a point there :p It`s mainly because there is a story about this type of head where it clips the wings of the birds so they fall out of the sky. So that`s the debunked part. No arrowhead is THAT sharp. The arrow would just pass between the feathers unless you hit the body or something. It`s a lot easier if they are on the ground though.

[@will-qp9bw]

Humans, so friendly and sympathetic as they talk about deadly weapons

[@jamo1774]

Arrows sounds so much more terrifying after hearing this. I always thought depending where you're hit, u could survive a shot from an arrow. But they can do so much more than a simple puncture wound.

[@joubinlee3944]

Awesome arrows and video!

[@G1NZOU]

There's some medieval pictures of that last long barbed arrow being used for boar hunting, hard to kill, but if you pierce one with that then as it runs away and brushes against undergrowth and branches it just does more damage and makes the boar bleed out.
