[QUOTE="Galloglaich, post: 5298553, member: 77019"] Here are some cool videos of missile weapons in use shot with a high speed (300 frames per second) camera, which I blundered across on [url= [URL]http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=19403[/URL]] My Armoury [/url] What makes this particular interesting to me is you can see the physics of the weapon, notice the way the thong (the 'amentum') imparts a spin to the javelins for example.
