If you don't know where the hell you are, a compass would
definately come in handy, and a map, and a dagger.
Incidentally, the "Garrote" pictured is not a garrote although it
could certainly be used as such, it's a metal saw used for iron bars
or whatever. (I have one, in a box somewhere).

They could have at least cleaned up the shaving brush before taking pic.
Lazy buggers.

Here's an American item, the Liberator Pistol.

These were simple, single shot .45 ACP smooth bores and were intended to be dropped all over Occupied Europe. They came with a comic book style instruction sheet that showed how to use them to kill a Nazi and take HIS gun.

In 45ACP must have been a handful to shoot!

USA in Vietnam, hot loaded some ammo and put into vc arms cache. Would blow gun up. Intended to prevent use of usa ammo and firearms. However, some usa personnel captured some of hot ammo, used it and were injured.

We are told not to hot load 38 spcl and other cal.,even for our own use, might be used by others incorrectly.

Sticking a finger in the barrel can also cause the enemy's gun to blow up.

My young cousin, years ago, crossing a creek, dipped the barrel of a 410 into the water and bulged or split the barrel end. Another fellow had a double with one barrel tip cut off due to a "little problem".

In Viet Nam, after crossing a rice paddy, NCOs made sure everyone "cracked" the bolt (retracted it a little) to drain water from the bore.
