message: Recently the "References" section has been added, and the only reference mentioned in it is another article in "Wikipedia". Is that correct, under current policies??  Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 14:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I have added an offer for redirection to the M270 article, because "Multiple Launch Rocket System" (MLRS) currently points here.  IMO MLRS should point directly to the M270, but perhaps there is reason for it pointing here that I am unaware of. Ddcorkum (talk) 00:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

message: There are some reason why the Chinese devices cannot be regarded as ancestor of the modern Multiple rocket launcher:
They were single-wheeled cart equiped with blades and spikes, which were fired on the move during a massive rush of Chinese footsoldiers towards enemies.
They were merely devices to shoot a compilation of the multiple gunpowders using in the close range combat. That is why they were very different from the Korean Hwacha, which were used as long distance multiple rockets against enemies.
And I also suspect that the Chinese divice that was older than Korean Hwacha, called "Huo Che" indeed.

replies: text: Please provide any source that the Chinese device was once called HuoChe in history. Judging from the images from the Wu Bei Zhi, the Chinese device cannot be a multiple rocket launcher but at best a device for shooting something using gunpowder with no trajectory. Anyway, there could have been existed a Chinese device operated at distances the range of 200 metres, whether it was a rocket launcher or not, developed and used in China during the Ming or Qing dynasty.

message: Technically, TOS-1, aka Buratino (Russian equivalent of Pinocchio) is a fire-thrower. Leo (talk) 16:42, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not. A flamethrower projects a flame or a flammable liquid. TOS-1 launchesr rockets that (in one type) contain flammable liquids, disperse and ignite it. The Russians call both the same, but this is not the case in English. Lastdingo (talk) 12:07, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Is there anything in this article that isn't properly covered in rocket artillery? All of these systems are rocket artillery, and most rocket artillery systems have been multiple. The distinction (single/multiple) isn't a useful one, and the terminology of this article is obviously confusing with the M270. I suggest merging. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:52, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why? 

message: "Classic" MLRS have a large footprint (dispersion, the impacts cover a large area). Is this because they are inherently inaccurate, does the turbulence caused by a rocket have an effect on the flight path of the next ones fired or cause the launcher to move somewhat, or is it a design feature (launch tubes not completely parallel for example)?
