how about the home guard device that threw glass bottles of flameing fluid at enemy tanks. nearly 1/2 of the bottles broke when fired and would splash the crews with burning liquid.

the same inventor made the PIAT

also there was a nuc charge that was suposed to be fired from the M-110 SPG. the problem was that the charge was so heavy that when the gun fired it it blew the recoil system and would total the gun and kill the crew. also the round was known to land short.

again on the nuc issue, there was a plan at one time to fire vollies of NIKE-AJAX and NIKE-HERK rockets armed with nuc warheads over canada to make a line of fire do soviet aircraft could not fly through. just a little problem with fallout.

The great Panjan drum, thats the one on the film clip when fired from the water line was chased by a stupid dog which in turn ended up at full pelt in reverse being chased by the drum
