The fire arrow was invented by the
chinese
in the early 11th
century
. These fire arrows were quite similar to the
fireworks
in use today.
Fire Arrows were usually
launch
ed from
cylinder
s or
box
es, and typically had a range of 350 metres. The
concept
was pretty much like a rocket propelled arrow with
poison
-coated
heads
. Sometimes the head was filled with
explosives
so that the fire arrow would be more destructive, but these explosives made the fire arrow very
unpredictable
. Although very primitive, these Fire Arrows are considered as the first true rockets.
The fire arrow led to the
mongolia
n invention of what may be the first
grenade
-like weapon. The use of
gunpowder
spread, and within the 16th century, rocket-like weapons were in use in
Europe
.
