    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.

        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.

            Group number 2 was certainly in for an unpleasant time.

            C-4 has toxic effects on humans when ingested. Within a few hours multiple generalized seizures, vomiting, and changes in mental activity occur.

                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.

                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

            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

      Don’t use a .50 cal round as a hammer.

      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.
