1. How does if work?

2. That’s ridiculous! Can you even imagine this? You are sitting in the trench full of trash and mud, and instead of thinking about how to get out of this hell, you are thinking about how to kill someone who will pick up your magazine a long time after the fight.

3. It’s been reported that US Army forces in Vietnam would mine 7.62 mm rounds. They would take the propellant out of the AK-47 ammo, and replace with C4 explosive. Then they’d drop them on paths the Viet Cong were using. When the round was fired, it would explode and destroy the rifle, the user would get a face full of shrapnel. Usually not enough to kill, but it would ruin someone’s day for sure.
