Notes"Hwacha or Hwach'a .[1] was an anti-personnel gunpowder weapon developed and used in Korea, inspired by Chinese fire arrows and the cylindrical and box shaped launch platforms that fired them. Hwacha were first developed in the 1400s by Korean scientists. It is 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 detonation.[citation needed] During combat, the projectiles are attached to the arrows, ignited and fired. This ammunition was transported on wheelbarrows [1]. Many 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) [2]."FeedUnfurl
