Dear Ed,
Looking at the Leibnitz article and the erratic nature of the arrow in flight, I would like to know if you are aware of studies that interpret the milimete cannon in context. The full illustration given in Elgoods FIREARMS OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD shows the arrow being fired into a confined space and not out in the open. This would mean the missile could be far more effective at the least in causing confusion etc., and setting fire to any combustible material.
