    Awesome that we are looking at something so basic as ballistics on weapons that are amazingly primitive but incredibly effective in their time.

    100%, we're seeing from these experiments how effective these weapons were, and one of the issues we're trying to tackle is a tendency to underestimate their potential for certain tasks. Better data are needed to more accurately evaluate them.
