Aleppo , Hell Cannon , hq

The Hell Cannon is a towed, projectile launcher, that is roughly similar in dimensions to the US built 105mm M101A1 Howitzer. It can launch a plethora of improvised explosive projectiles, but its main ammunition of choice (or of necessity?) is a highly modified propane gas cylinder, complete with stabilizing fins and filled with a crude explosive mixture.

I'm not sure how true this story is or if the image is photo shopped or whatever but here it is believe if you want.

While mounting the M2 Machine Gun onto the turret system of his MATV during pre-combat checks, this soldier experienced difficulty inserting the locking pin on the mod 93 machine gun mount. The soldier then attempted to force the locking pin into place with a rock. After this failed, he then secured a loose .50 Cal round, using it to hammer at the locking pin, attempting to force the locking pin into place. After several hits with the .50 cal round, the primer activated, setting the round off in the soldier's hand. The injuries suffered to his right hand, middle, ring and pinkie fingers on his right hand are shown below to the right.

True. I was thinking about that while having a smoke. I've edited the post and am happy to remove it or have it removed if it is required.
