Agree, agree. I also came here looking for the mechanics of the 'common' fire arrow. The subject matter isn't broached on 'Arrow' either. Since they both use the same name, they're both arrows, and the common fire arrow probably doesn't deserve a whole article, a paragraph near the beginning of the article would make sense. Any takers? |

- agree it should be called powder arrow, but there a real fire arrows which were used since 1000s of years with putting mixing cotton and oil on the arrows so they burn which were used in Europe and the middle east too. This article is very biased on asian history.--[[User:Shokioto22|Shokioto22]] ([[User talk:Shokioto22|talk]]) 06:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC) |

intranetusa - deleted the part about the Greek inventor because it wasn't a rocket. I looked up his article and it said he "might" have invented an early steam device, not a rocket device.
Use by Mongol forces
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)
They did. Around 3 invasions. 1st one failed before they got there because of the typhoon. In the rest of the 2 invasions, the typhoon damaged the Mongol navy badly, but they managed to get on land. Even then, they had many internal disputes and poor leadership. They lost. (Wikimachine 20:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC))
- The only 3 invasions of Japan in history, all thwarted by bad weather... -- Миборовский 02:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
-intraetusa -
yeh, the three typhoons were called "kamakazies" or divine wind because it saved Japan.
Korean variant?
Can anyone familiar with Fire Arrows take a guess as to whether this is a Fire Arrow? -- Visviva 08:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
That is a Dae-Singijeon. Take a look at the fully revised Singijeon article. It is really large & had to be launched individually. (Wikimachine 20:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC))
English Translation Please
Would it be possible to get an English translation of the footnotes section? joturner 20:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
other "fire arrows"
This weapon described in this article is a specific asian weapon and needs to be differentiated from a simple arrow with a cloth or such that is set ablaze, a weapon that has been used all over the world to set structures on fire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.248.119 (talk) 14:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Indian use
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.
