Lol this reminds me of some of my old European history coursework where I came across plenty of descriptions of the early cannons fucking exploding because they were still trying to figure out the ratios of metal mixes and mathematic measurements
Exactly. And those gunsmiths knew what they were doing. A random isekaied рerson would not. Theyd have to make a huge investment and it would take a while.
at least the concept of a hwatcha is easy enough, just figure out the details on attaching an iron sleeve around the explosive charge that's thick enough to cause fragmentation but thin enough to not severely affect range or effectiveness, and you got a primitive Katyusha
Yes this is more clever.
I'm trademarking this for my book, back off all you vultures!
Unless you credit me by naming it in your book "The Alaskatysha"
