Among my favorite Murphy's Laws of Combat

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend."

I think it's apocryphal, but the tale is told of a grandmotherly type in a rough part of Manhattan, who grew tired of resisting purse snatchers. On the next occasion, she didn't fight back, but did manage to hold onto one item of sentimental value: the safety ring on the grenade inside. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:37, 12 July 2008 (CDT)

Where does this fit

New US Army weapon [1]. Enemy hides behind a wall. Lase the wall for range, aim above it. Mini-grenade explodes above him. Sandy Harris 09:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
