Just an odd fact
— The English Army had approximately 5,000 archers at Agincourt, and a stock of about 400,000 arrows
— With each archer capable of shooting about ten arrows a minute, the ammunition would last only about eight minutes. However, such firepower would have been devastating. More than 800 arrows a second would have rained on the French cavalry, killing or wounding hundreds
