#2 Yes, I thought the ISIS propaganda video showing the WWII pineapple grenades was very interesting.

#3 Maybe the latest and greatest thing Besoeker. Read about the new bomb with the wrough Iron warhead? Supposed to replace them bad cluster boombs.

Not sure if the bomb has to be heated before dropped.

#4 Now that I think about it, Cast Iron Warhead would make a fine pedigreed name for a show quality PitBull.

#5 Cast ductile iron? What does ductility have to do with the performance of this bomb? Wouldn't this look like a big pineapple grenade made out of hard iron so it shatters into sharp fragments?

#6 It was noted that even if the video is current and real, only one pallet out of X missed, which is good darts.

The goal would be to cast doubt upon the effectiveness of US air support for Kobane.

Real or faked, the video is rated at flaculant.
