Talk:Fire arrow

message: Can anyone explain what could possibly be meant by a Mongolian invasion of Japan?  I didn't think they ever got that far -- were there perhaps some naval skirmishes?  -- Visviva 08:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  English Translation Please 

message: The "Laws of Manu," a Hindu treatise on statecraft (c. 400 BC) forbids the use of poison and fire arrows, but advises poisoning food and water. 
Kautilya's "Arthashastra," a statecraft manual of the same era, contains hundreds of recipes for creating poison weapons, toxic smokes, and other chemical weapons. Ancient Greek historians recount that Alexander the Great encountered poison arrows and fire incendiaries in India at Indus Basin in the 4th century BC.

thread_title:  Indian use 

message: "1221, the Thundercrash Bombs, used by the Jin invaders during the attack of Qizhou, which were exploding grenades filled with black powder rather than incendiary bombs filled with molten material, and lastly in 1232 when the Jin repelled the Mongolians in the battle of Kai-keng. They also used in this battle the Flying Firelances, which were bamboo tubes stuffed with black powder; the tube was ignited and used as a flamethrower.[8]"
I didn't want to outright delete it, but nothing in this section quoted appears to refer to the use of fire arrows. Assuming that the reference cited is an accurate translation, then nothing in that appears to mention the use of any kind of fire arrow or similar rocket weapons. This section should be deleted.

message: it is better to name it rocket arrow instead of fire arrow because it describes from what it is propelled  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.72.101.175 (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the current title is problematic because, even in the primary sources, "fire arrow" is an ambiguous term that can refer to either flaming arrows or gunpowder arrows. I would recommend moving this article to another title and disambiguating the fire arrow article.--Khanate General ☪ talk project mongol conquests 12:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
