Among field troops in Vietnam it became common knowledge that ingestion of a small amount of C-4 would produce a "high" similar to that of ethanol. Others would ingest C-4, commonly obtained from a Claymore mine, to induce temporary illness in the hope of being sent on sick leave.
Oh, I'm aware. Much like intentionally losing part of your leg to trenchfoot in a desperate attempt to get out of being mowed down by a barrage of bullets or burned alive by mustard gas or chloramine.
I mean, if you don't use the primer as the hammer face, it'll be ok aside from the fact that they don't weigh enough to drive in a pin/nail. I'd try the bullet tbh, it'll be the heaviest part, but you'll really probably need at least like a, idk, 8oz impliment, and one round of .50bmg is about 1.5oz.

Every sign has its story.

Don't use a .50 cal round as a hammer.
Don't ziptie a Claymore to the grill of your truck.
Don't eat the C4.

Do not load the rocket launcher with a sledgehammer.

I feel like group number 2 is a lot closer to reality.

Group number 2 was certainly in for an unpleasant time.

Just wait until you find out what happens in the field during a war

It's still not a pleasant time, though.

They might be off about the temporary part and possibly the illness part if that turns into injury instead but other than that spot on.

Huh. Not as bad as I expected. Also I am somehow not surprised that this has actually been done enough to be documented
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y
Documented? They print a warning on the block packaging now.

Amazing. I feel like there is a similar story (of the "why would you even do that ?" variety) behind this label as with the MAS-36 bayonet hole
