Can you list the top facts and stats about Weishi rockets?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Weishi (WS; Chinese: 卫士; lit. 'Guardian') family of multiple rocket launcher systems were mainly developed by Sichuan Academy of Aerospace Technology (SAAT, also known as Base 062) in the central province of Sichuan, China at Chengdu city.[1][2] The systems include the 302 mm (11.9 in) WS-1 (100 km (62 mi; 54 nmi)), the improved 302 mm (11.9 in) WS-1B (180 km (110 mi; 97 nmi)), the 122 mm (4.8 in) WS-1E (40 km (25 mi; 22 nmi)), the 400 mm (16 in) WS-2 (200 km (120 mi; 110 nmi)), as well as many other models. The WS-1 series weapon system did not enter PLA service and has order from Thailand. The WS-2 may finally see PLA service in the future. It's worth noticing that although sharing the same name, there are other developers for different models of Weishi series multiple rocket launchers (MRL) other than the primary developer SCAIC.
China Aerospace Long-March International (a unit of CASC) showed a table of the ranges of most of the WS rockets. There are unguided, guided and precision guided rockets.[3]
