You should have seen the one of the ARVN soldier with a lump on his side. The X-ray revealed it as an unexploded mortar round. He had been a direct it but the round did not explode and slid in along his ribcage. He had no idea what hit him.

I met the surgeon who actually removed the mortar round and saw a film of the operation. He was operating from behind sandbags with instruments welded to the end of long poles.
