Your kind of correct archer's almost never fire at an extremely high arc its an highly inaccurate way to fire an arrow and high quality arrows were very expensive and very limited when on campaign it did happen but very very rarely its much more effective to fire at a flatter trajectory.
What I've never understood is how (at least in movies as I wasn't a medieval archer) is why the fire a volley or two, then stop. Why not fire dozens of volleys?
@@thescuffedcrusaderofjerusa5651 but how expensive and limited could they be? The cost of maintaining a man in the field outfitting him with armor/weapons would seem to allow you to just have a couple dudes spend 60 hours a week crafting arrows, no?

As someone who works in metal fabrication this is terrifying. I've accidentally shot parts across the shop with the wheel grinder and they could easily smash skulls, shatter teeth, impale, etc. I couldn't imagine these falling from the sky with an aerodynamic design. 💀

I think this misses an important piece. While falling darts are deadly you gotta remember the all steel so when planted they now make a field of spikes which is equally terrifying
They are actually called "flechettes," a French word meaning "little dart." They were incredibly inaccurate, but when they did land a hit, they were devastatingly effective, able to damage vehicles and mutilate a soldier.
Does RFG stand for Rod From God? I remember the idea of those tungsten rods in low orbit which would do a lot of damage if shot down to Earth, I just can't remember if that is their exact name.
Having your skull bashed in with a shovel or club is always going to be less appealing to me than a few minutes in a gas chamber. That being said, Japan would still give you some gruesome bang for buck in WW2.
Fun fact: The United States actually used a similar weapon during the Vietnam war. It was called the lazy dog and was essentially a bomb that would break open to release a swarm of metal darts that would silently drop through the foliage and kill anyone that was unlucky enough to underneath them at the time. Obviously this weapon is now banned as it was considered to be a moral because it would kill non combatants just as much as enemy combatants. It really was more of a "to whom it might concern" type of weapon.
Wow, didn't know that. My grandfather was in the Army on the front lines in France during WWI. Sure glad he made it back 😂... unscathed by such a weapon. Thanks!
Could you imagine being in a trench underneath like a bridge and see like 10 planes fly over and are coming towards you then just the hail of metal darts ga from the sky meanwhile you just sit as they pierce the wood above you or whatever material its made of as they come through and they are like inches from your face. Truly terrifying. I'd be like oh my gosh there's metal darts falling from the sky😫
Did you know the first "weaponized" item used in air to ground combat was a bar of soap? A scout plane pilot got tired of being shot at, while flying over enemy lines, so he decided that he would grab some of the unit's extra soap crates, on each sortie he would bring a box and throw bar of soap in the direction of where he was shot from. Note: at the time it was in fact lye soap
As any child born in the 1960 can tell you, hearing the call "Lawn Jart!" Was the equivalent to hearing an air raid siren. Difficult to laugh at cockroaches scurrying for cover when the lights go on when someone yell "Lawn Jart!" and you react the same. It is merely Pavlovian.
My brother and I and our two cousins used to have a game where we would basically free for all whip lawn darts into the air and whoever got hit 'lost'.
A very demoralizing weapon, if it only killed a few the threat of it made infantry stay under cover and retreat from engagement. The Germans even made use of the fact that the French invented them by pointing it out to the French soldiers who then probably cursed their own inventors who developed them.
"French Invention" OOF, not even gonna lie, that is genius thing to do, the level of disrespect and the psychological war fare, DAMN world war was messed up but badass
Not sure if they're still made but they're used to be a 2.75 inch rocket used on the Apache that was filled with flachetts. Very effective on personnel
UAV platforms can mount an agm called the "flying ginsue" or the R9X, it forgoes the explosive warhead in favor of a kenitic warhead containing a halo of blades that deploy moments before impact thus reducing collateral damage in high density areas not quite the same thing but the same basis
You know no one ever said that these darts were more effective than bombs, they were just a lot cheaper and easier to manufacture. Additionally they were only used at all in WW1 because that was a war full of experimental weapons and tactics. The US did actually use similar weapons in the Vietnam war however, but for entirely different reasons.
Here students of history is a perfect example of the early human’s need to “flex” on their enemies. Such a strong tradition that was never abandoned even in times of war
FYI for those curious, "Alemand" is French for "German". It has to do with the closest Germanic tribe to the Francs during ancient times being called the "Ales". Ergo, "Ale-man"
