It just struck me. What if shatagni was bamboo pole rocket with an iron spikes bursting payload?

It would take off with a tongue of flame - agni jihva. It would spew iron spikes- loha kanta. And this would kill or harm hundreds of bunched up troops.

What is now needed is to see if there are recipes for gunpowder/propelling powder in the Atharva Veda or the assorted military treatises of ancient times? Any refs to powders with sulpher, charcoal or carbon soot and an 'oxidiser' would fit the bill.
