Panjagan

Panjagān was either a projectile weapon or an archery technique used by the late military of Sasanian Persia, by which a volley of five arrows was shot.[1] No examples of the device have survived, but it is alluded to by later Islamic authors,[2] in particular, in their description of the Persian conquest of Yemen, where the application of the unknown panjagan was supposedly the deciding factor in Persian victory.
