Big scary noise. Imagine being a footman walking into battle, then hearing a sound like a mountain falling over, then a dozen men in your formation fall over dead while a cloud of smoke erupts from behind the enemy pike wall. I'd be pretty concerned.

But in terms of killing effectiveness, bows at the time were better.
