Shotgunning: From a single attack, multiple thorn arrows from different pods can hit the same target, but multiple thorn arrows from the same pod cannot hit the same target.

Return: By default with for example Returning Projectiles only primary arrow will return. In order to also make thorn arrows return, at least 55% total projectile speed is required.
