Hwacha: The First Ancient Korean Rocket Launcher Weapon
Better not miss, reloads ain't quick
Looks less accurate than a shotgun at that range.
You don't need to have great accuracy when firing at an army. The article mentions 3,000 successfully defending against 30,000 because of this weapon
I don't think they really had shotguns in the 15th century tho.
Couldn't you just have several 200-arrow "blocks" ready to go? Like a magazine.
Probably but I think winding whatever they use for 200 crossbows would be the real problem
