In your EOD life, did you ever come across that Russian caliber naming quirk, ie, not naming different ammo types the same millimeter number? I read in a book by a Russian that they could not believe in the USA we had 81mm this and 81mm that. They thought this was stupid, and was bound to lead to battlefield errors, due to bad radio transmission or whatever. Instead of desperately needed mortar rounds, you would wind up with a delivery of recoilless rifle ammo, for example. So this Russky said all Russian ammo, bombs etc were given different mm numbers, even if their calibers were identical. Did you ever hear this?

Only quirks I encountered were the frigging Cyrillic lettering , symbols and such that haunted me my whole career. Only class I rolled was sino soviet chemical munitions markings. We had guide books for the field and classified microfiche etc yet the tests were from memory and tough.

As too specific ammo or munitions .....nothing memorable.
