As for a barrage of arrows: that'd be hard to do and mostly in efficient, considering each NPC and mob in MC takes time before you can hit it again. It's stupid but its core MC coding, blame Mojang. Doing an instantaneous barrage/arrow storm would just register one or two hits, making the concept obsolete. That's why if you have a bunch of archers most arrows will "bounce" off the target.

EDIT: I must've partially misread your second article. That may be possible, though I doubt it. Are you talking about all archers shooting at the same time? Of course not! Thats nkt what i mean. What i meant was that if there was a frindly in front of the enemy. The archer npc would shoot upwards into an arch. So it wont hit the ally. Not instantaneous barrages.
