#1 Wouldn't and incendiary rifle rounds or shotgun slugs be longer ranged, cheaper, more effective and just a whole lot more fun to use?

#2 During the Algeria war, the French managed to have the rebels "get" a batch of grenades who detonated prematurely. It would be nice if the same tactic were used in Irak.

#3 JFM,
The special forces did something like that in Vietnam. They would take the rounds out of the AK-47s and replace the powder in two or three of them with C4. They would then reload the magazine with the "modified" rounds 5 or 6 places deep and leave the AKs for the VietCong to find. Then, in the middle of a firefight, BOOM! Takes off their hands and they can't fight anymore.
BRUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

#4 I don't know who works on the acronyms for these weapons, but I love it. Moose limbs believe Jinn are angels.

Rummy: "Uh, yes, Ms. Thomas, it was an angel that set off those IEDs. That's the ticket."

The guy who came with the idea of the trapped grenades was later detached as an instructor to american troops in counterguerrilla tactics.
