with snipers i mean expert marksmen, not special weapons. the problem with usual arrows is that they don't penetrate the skin of the elephant deep enough. so they made all-iron arrows and, so it is suggested, applied incidentaries with them which would scare the elephant. of course you can also snipe elephants if you hit them in the eyes.

Hi. Anyone knows any good information or sites about bows such as Crimean tartar bows, Ottoman bows, and the hardest for me to find info about: Mughal bows. As the Mughals were turco-mongolian descendent, were their bows a further development of the mongolian bow or, were they inspired by someone else? Some sources calls them Indo-Persian bows and some moghul bows. Erik. Probably You know this: www.atarn.org/
