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.
Do not load the rocket launcher with a sledgehammer.

When you're loading 122mm rockets into your 120mm launcher.
Precision engineering.
Don't eat the C4.
What if I wanna taste the forbidden dough
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.
I feel like group number 2 is a lot closer to reality.
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.
Just wait until you find out what happens in the field during a war
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
