Oh the rocket propelled arrows? It's the ancient Korean "hwacha", which by the way, is one of my favorite Mythbusters confirmations.

EDIT: Spelling error.

Can you imagine Tony Stark introducing that to the ancient Korean military? "hwatcha"...it just sounds like he's getting out of the way in an overdubbed wuxia movie.

Isn't "hwatcha" what they say in the Samurai Jack theme song after they sing "Back to the past/Samurai Jack?"

I thought "hwatcha" was what Tonks always said to Harry Potter in book 5.

You all joke about the name, but look at the video that is linked to that post. You can't ignore the sheer awesomeness of that.

Paul would totally go down against that Vulcan, James' choice sucks though, why didn't he get one too?

Vulcans don't have a great ammo reserve, they can burn through it in 5 seconds or less, and they're big and heavy, making them more difficult to move around or aim quickly.

I can understand reasons for him to not get one like Matt though I agree his choice of two semi-automatics double-wielded was unwise in a straight standoff like that.

One pump-action repeater, another bolt-action repeater. NOT semi-automatic. Two semis would be perfect for dual-wielding. Alas, the only semi-auto Nerf gun is the Hornet, which is crap.

Yes indeed. Two of those would have beaten Matt's Vulcan.

Dude. I know, right! So picking that one up. We were discussing it in the 'That thing what [sic] Paul made' thread.

Kathleen is the cat lady AND she has/makes creepy dolls?

I demand (well in advance) reaction pics of Kathleen's grandchildren.

Nerf is awesome, end of story. My younger brother gets a new gun every once in a while and the most recent addition was the Vulcan minigun, and it is so awesome.

If you know what you're doing, you can make the belt a lot longer.

Though as we discussed earlier (or was it in a different thread?), the motor the Vulcan uses to move the chain is too weak to let you effectively use a belt beyond 50 links or so. It's just not that well constructed a weapon. Useful for shock-and-awe, but that's about it.

With the possible exception of ISC (which you should definitely do more of), cH is my favourite LRR series, and this episode only serves to further solidify that opinion. Good job!

Oh, like 3 years ago. He's not well sewn though.

I noticed something.

Near the beginning when Paul says "Is this about the bathroom? Because that totally wasn't us" followed by Graham saying "I thought Morgan...", was that a reference to Morgan's Problem from Season 4?

It could be, but doubtful. Morgan is however known for bathroom/toilet shenanigans.
