Yeah, those Marines do have a sense of humor don’t they?
Didn’t realize you’d served. Hope my explanation of fuzes didn’t offend.
This whole thing on fuzes reminds me of my days back at Benning. During training on the LAW, they told us that the fuze wouldn’t arm until 10 meters (more or less, I’m getting old). That evening on NBC, there was a reporter claiming fraud on the part of defense contractors building the LAW. The dufus claimed that the LAW should kill any tank to 300 meters and he’d seen LAWS bouncing harmlessly off tanks at less than 5 yards. Just my first step to being a sceptic on anything military on TV.
There is a video on You Tube of either Brits or French infantry firing a what looks to be an anti-tank weapon.
Its great. The projectile comes out of the tube with no velocity. It falls right at their feet. I think the camera crew outdistanced the infantry guys.
