Remember that smoking pineapple grenade Sarge lobbed at the Jerry/Tojo, and of course he pulled the pin with his teeth.
And Rock and his Brass Balls platoon didn’t need parachutes: they just landed on their feet!
(Then down on a knee to break the fall. Let’s not go crazy here.)

And whenever Sgt. Rock killed an enemy soldier, the death was depicted by an empty enemy helmet & weapon falling to the ground. No mangled bodies were to be shown.

If Sgt. Rock used a grenade, the blast fireball had a helmet in the epicenter, usually German.

His all time best shot came when a Stuka dive bomber began strafing his squad; Sgt. Rock slapped a rifle grenade launcher on his M-1 and lobbed one right into the Stuka’s cockpit.

He regularly shot down Stukas with his Thompson submachine gun; they dove straight at him which made it simple.
