	Hedgehog (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hedgehog received its name because when unloaded, the rows of empty spigots resembled the spines of a hedgehog.
		Hedgehog was replaced by the more effective Squid mortar in 1943 and this in turn was replaced by the three-barreled Limbo.
		The Hedgehog was adapted into a 7 shot launcher form for use on the back of the Matilda tank serving with Australian forces.

	USA ASW Weapons
		Contact weapons, such as Hedgehog and Squid, can be much smaller, but must be either guided into their targets or else used in very large numbers in order to obtain a kill.
		Hedgehog was the first "ahead-fired" weapon that could be used while the attacking ship still had sonar contact on the target submarine.
		This weapon was developed to take the place of Hedgehog for smaller ships such as patrol craft which could not withstand the recoil forces generated by that weapon.

	uboat.net - Fighting the U-boats - Technical pages
		The hedgehog is a projector-type weapon that throws 24 small projectiles several hundred feet ahead of the attacking vessel.
		The benefits of this type of weapon is that the position of the U-boat is more accurately known and the projectiles do not explode unless they hit something meaning that ASDIC contact is not lost due to massive underwater explosions unless the attack is successful.
		The Hedgehog was an effective weapon but was not as thrilling as the escort rushing in dropping depth charges onto the suspected U-boat's position.

		Hedgehogs are most closely related to gymnures and other insectivores, including moles, shrews, tenrecs and solenodons.
		A defence that all species of hedgehogs possess is the ability to roll into a tight ball, causing all of the spines to point outwards.
		However, its effectiveness depends on the number of spines, and since some of the desert hedgehogs evolved to carry less weight, they are much more likely to try to run away and sometimes even attack the intruder, trying to ram into him with their needles, leaving rolling as a last resort.

	CORE Hedgehog description
		The Hedgehog has plenty of range so you can keep it away from the attack force while still providing protection.
		The Hedgehog works the same way as the Protector, so you need to load it (build) with anti-nukes before it can provide any protection.
		The Hedgehog will explode as an Atomic Blast (area of effect 516, damage 2000) and self-destruct as a Small Crawl Blast (area of effect 275, damage 1200).

		Such an ahead thrown weapon could in principle be far deadlier than existing depth charges, which were dropped astern and gave a submarine too much time to take avoiding action during an attack.
		He was quick to take up the idea and soon envisaged a weapon firing a pattern of relatively small contact changes from an array of spigots mounted in the forecastle of an escort.
		By May 1941 the Hedgehog mounted in the destroyer HMS Westcott was ready for sea trials against a submerged wreck in Liverpool Bay.

	The Complete history of shadow
		While he still considers Maria Robotnik as someone to look up to and who deserves to have her memory kept safe and be forever remembered, he wouldn't go quite as far as getting himself killed over it; even though he'd go pretty damn far for it no less.
		Realizing he was perhaps more than a mere weapon, and as Amy drew closer to him for a moment, the two of them actually kissed, and then relaxed on a couch, doing nothing..
		Forcing the hedgehog to enter his Super form, she led him to destroy small towns until finally, when he went after Amy for revenge, he was stopped by G.U.N's elite forces; shot in the head, no less.

	Canadian Navy Anti-Submarine Weapons & Torpedoes
		Hedgehog was the first ahead-throwing ASW weapon to enter service with the RCN, and was a huge improvement over conventional depth charges in that it allowed the attacking ship to stand-off from the target and maintain sonar contact right up until the time of firing the weapon.
		Second generation ahead-throwing ASW weapon to see RCN service, this triple short-barrelled mortar was an improvement over the previous Hedgehog, although the RCN was slow to adopt this weapon during the war, and it only saw service in the twelve CASTLE class corvettes before 1950.
		These weapons were a major part of pre-war destroyer training, but saw little use with the RCN during the war.

	Review: Shadow the Hedgehog : The University Daily Kansan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-04)
		I had high hopes for Shadow the Hedgehog in his first starring role, but Shadow the Hedgehog doesn’t stack up to what I thought it would be.
		The weapon and vehicle option is perhaps the most confusing.
		For one, Shadow’s body should be the only weapon at the player’s disposal, but trying to use weapons like a 9 mm and a sword to destroy enemies is awkward on all levels.

	Shadow the Hedgehog Hands-On (Xbox)
		Sure there is a new starring character and there is now a weapon set for players to toy around with, but the feel of the game is firmly intact with a nice “Sonic” feel.
		While the speed and furious action in the game are things that we’ve come to expect from any character carrying the Hedgehog label, what we didn’t see coming was the extensive weapon set which includes over 30 items such as Halo inspired plasma swords to standard machine guns.
		The main addition to the gameplay was obviously the projectile weapons which were a large focus on the show floor.

		To cure this problem the Admiralty Miscellaneous Department started work on a new weapon which could project a charge forwards, in other words, one which could be aimed while the target was still in the beam.
		Because the recoil was mostly absorbed in resetting the springs on the spigot, the whole weapon was light and could be mounted on a small ships deck without much alteration.
		The destroyer HMS Westcott took the first operational Hedgehog in January 1942 and this was the destroyer that claimed the first kill with the Hedgehog, on February 2nd 1942.

	G4 - Reviews - Shadow the Hedgehog
		Now with the release of Shadow the Hedgehog it has become painfully obvious that Sega doesn’t have a clue what to do with the Sonic mythos from either a gameplay or a narrative perspective.
		Given those numbers, there’s actually a lot of gameplay in Shadow the Hedgehog, and it’s safe to say that this is the absolute best part of the game.
		If you’re an adult and still playing games that feature a bunch of giant hedgehogs and some mad scientist shaped like a egg, you’re probably beyond the need for “edgy.” But beyond all that, this is simply an awful game.

		The only disadvantage to this weapon is that you're left vulnerable while charging the attack, although the power of the discharge is the same regardless of length of charge.
		This weapon was orignally a mortar that lobbed something up to 24 anti-submarine mortar shells in a pattern in front of the destroyer.
		As for the Einhander Hedgehog, well, it's still a mortar of sorts, and it's really the only weapon that allows you to shoot straight up or straight down, something the originally was good at (when the 24-odd shells hit the water, they were always at some steep angle).
