Not to mention how incredibly fast they were able to reload them. Euron didn't have that many ships, so Dany should have been able to circle around and dodge their first volley, then completely obliterate them while they reload. But they're firing off bolts like the Mythbusters' gattling arrows. God that scene was just so stupid, but it's par for the course now
