@@d3athreaper100 Well, Flu flu's are arrows with six big feathers at the end, which you can shoot (Arround 45 degree) high into the sky. They stop at one point, where they land straight into the ground. If you connect them with a whistling top or some kind, then they gonna do two different whistles
@@NicholasMasiuk I am also a musician. That's exactly the same change in pitch so I concur, Doppler. The arrow slowing down wouldn't change the pitch because it's a whistle, and I feel dumb for even bringing it up.
You just made me realise the sharp whistling sound heard in classic samurai movies and anime could be an evolution of that usage of whistling arrows by ancient samurais. Mind blown!
@@HipposHateWater Could also be that the theater artifact is the rendition or at least a narrative metaphor for the real world weapon that eventually got transposed to cinema. Either way, cool stuff
The sound you're referencing could be the shakuhachi (bamboo-root flute). It makes a very distinctly "Japanese sound" especially when messing around with overtones and trills (not sure the of the appropriate terminology)
A volley of regular arrows is terrifying, go to a major competition where you get 45 plus targets, 2 archers per target all shooting together. It’s a sound you never forget
They sound SO much more brutal if you hear it from where the target is. The way they get louder as they approach makes them legitimately terrifying. I saw a vid where they used slingshots to shoot whistling projectiles and they were absolutely terrifying.
Celtics used to do this during war. The terrifying sound of hundreds of arrows screaming down upon you. (Keep in mind during a extrme religious time and no tech)
One of my favorite examples of the whistling came from whisling slingshot projectiles, when the camera was placed right under the target they shot it at. It makes all the difference when you hear it getting louder as it's coming towards you.
That was actually a psychological warfare tactic used by some armies in the Middle Ages, it gets very loud so it was often used in a similar way to war horns and the like just before a big charge or melee, to not only demoralize the enemy but also just add chaos to the battlefield and make it harder for your foe to communicate effectively.
Another great video. I love how you’ve totally kept your accent in everything you say. So many people morph their voice to be something it’s not and it never seems as natural or fluent. PROUD YORKSHIREMAN! ❤
Founder of the whistling arrows is Mete Han named Turkish emperor lived B.C. 209. Where he shoot this arrows all his soldiers shoot the same point. And in BC 209 he shoot his father with whistling arrow for became an emperor
@@mert.moon.0 can you provide any sources or references to any historical records or manuscripts that prove, undeniably, that Metehan was the “founder” of the whistling arrow? It’s far more likely that they were developed independently by certain cultures without prior knowledge of their existence elsewhere. As is the case with most examples regarding origin claims of a historical weapon/artefact.
I have always wanted to see an actual whistling arrow in action, as I've only seen them mentioned while i was reading A Hero Born by Jin Yong. In that, a boy was raised on the Mongolian steppes with his mom that soon found themselves living with Genghis Khan and his kin, and the glossary at the back said that these arrows were used to fire warnings across the fields. Thanks for the demonstration of these whistling arrows, Robin!
These arrows were the medieval equivalent of tracer bullets used in the military, they were a guide for the soldiers on where to aim their projectiles at
Oi, Headward is quite a brave cameraman as well! Didn’t know he had it in him! Now what you need to demonstrate is an all-wooden headed hunting arrow. Not great for range, but they were used for hunting small furry creatures ( like the sheriff’s pets). They didn’t break the skin and thus the pelt wasn’t ruined. They transferred all the energy into the target, rather than punching a hole through it. Rather like using an aerial mace instead of a flying bollock dagger. Another superlative, educational video! Love ‘em! Cheers!
Imagine a huge rain of these raining at your troops. I don't know if they used them in combat but it would add a psychological aspect to the battle because it would be terrifying to see horses running towards you while the sky is raining whistling death on you.
Interesting video. An additional note on the Mongolian example: they used whistle arrows to alert and direct everyone to shoot in the direction of a notable enemy individual or to disrupt the organization of enemy forces. It’s said that anyone who heard the whistle arrow was expected to shoot in the same direction toward the enemy if available.
their most prominent use by the mongols would be to signal a military maneuver to an army detachment from longer ranges, these arrows were best made to be light as to have longer ranges of communication and as it travels faster, the whistle also becomes louder Different whistle's could also mean different tasks
So flares before flares! I only considered the whistling proyectiles as terror devices to debilitate enemy formations, but sure they can be used for communication too.
The idea of hundreds of these whistling arrows being loosed and arcing over a battlefield just crosses my mind and my gods would that be a terrifying sound
Sounds like something you probably shot through the Sheriff’s window at 2am every Thursday…
don't give me....i mean kids bad ideas.

Whistling arrows are really fun to shoot. If you connect it to a flu flu arrow, then you gonna have a really fun time
Why?

@@d3athreaper100 sounds like an old bomb falling. Flu flu are basically lobbing arrows so they whistle on the way down.
@d3athreaper100 you'll never know
@@d3athreaper100
Flu Flu arrows have high drag, so presumably it makes a lower pitched whistle for a longer time short-range
Delicious Doppler Effect demo as the arrow passes the camera
Came here to ask about doppler or if it was just the arrow slowing down. Yes, I'm Applied Physics background.
Sounds like the second tone the whole time for the shooter
@@professornuke7562 I think its gotta be doppler. The transition sounds too clean and precise to be anything but a doppler effect. .
@@NicholasMasiuk I am also a musician. That's exactly the same change in pitch so I concur, Doppler. The arrow slowing down wouldn't change the pitch because it's a whistle, and I feel dumb for even bringing it up.
Yea I thought I heard it, glad I'm not the only one, thought my brain was doing the 'wonky' again 😂
You just made me realise the sharp whistling sound heard in classic samurai movies and anime could be an evolution of that usage of whistling arrows by ancient samurais. Mind blown!
Do you mean the shrill flute at dramatic moments in general? I think that's an artifact from Japanese theater
@@HipposHateWater Could also be that the theater artifact is the rendition or at least a narrative metaphor for the real world weapon that eventually got transposed to cinema. Either way, cool stuff
@@AzAtHoTh1666 Well, a signal arrow is not really a weapon, but otherwise you are probably right, Kabuki theatre mimics the sounds of a battlefield.
I always think of that scene from Princess Mononoke when those samurai square up with Ashitaka.
The sound you're referencing could be the shakuhachi (bamboo-root flute). It makes a very distinctly "Japanese sound" especially when messing around with overtones and trills (not sure the of the appropriate terminology)
A sentence, a whistling arrow
another sentence, another whistling arrow.
That's an archer way to speak!
Thats Haiku isnt it?
Imagine how fucking terrifying it would be if a volley was all screeching whistling arrows

Now imagine if the arrows had the same internal structures as Aztec death whisles
And then imagine about a couple hundred of those flying down at the enemy it would sound like a wave of screaming harpies flying down at them
They sound SO much more brutal if you hear it from where the target is.
The way they get louder as they approach makes them legitimately terrifying.

If you ever think that whistling is not intimidating, just remember that mortar shells whistle
They sound so beautiful!!
Imagine going to war, and the arrow rain coming down, sounding like the rebels are tryna take over your mothership.
Samurai: *shoots whistling arrow into the sky*
What the enemy hears: “The enemy team has been supplied with a Dreadnought.”
