John Rambo used these to wreak havoc on the North Vietnamese Army, using them to destroy convoys, kill soldiers with fire and personally kill Lieutenant Tay. He fired two at a convoy of NVA trucks, one at Lieutenant Tay, and two more into the gasoline-soaked dry field. He used them with his Hoyt Archery compound bow. Rambo had five explosive arrows in this film. The arrows from part two are shorter than the ones from part three and have more of a brassy color.
