Leader RedBaird Posted January 15, 2019 Leader Share Posted January 15, 2019 A bad time for Belguim. Check out the grenade-launcher in the first pic. Wikipedia says that Belgium used the "Mills-bomb" style of grenade, which meant that they had to insert the 'nade into the barrel attachment, pull the pin and then fire a blank cartridge to make it fly. Actually, some rifle-nade launchers in that period could use a regular cartridge with a bullet. Ooh, ooh! It looks like somebody let the spoon go on the far-right 'nade and then put the pin back in! That would not save you from being "hoist on your own petard!". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
