god some of those jap guns sucked ass. I like the model 95(is that right) pistol. It was easy to misfire by tapping the side.

I'm watching that now,
of course I've seen it about 4-5 times now.
Yes Japanese guns were pretty bad, that machinegun with the hopper that held 6 5-round stripper-clips: which genius came up with that dumb idea?

The pistol you were talking about was the Nambu Type 94. It could be mis-fired by tapping the sear bar. oOo: Crazy peoples

my teacher told me that during the vietnam war, the enemy like sharpend wooden sticks, to long sharp points. then put human / animal feces on the spike, and buried it in the ground, with leaves and stuff on top of it..when an allied soilder steps on the spike, it goes straight thru thier foot, inserting bacteria out the wazzoo, thus infection stuff...talk about messed up..

pungi sticks, pretty much standard fare in 'Nam,
the VC also had many more ingeniously evil booby traps that made pungis look innocent ed:
