While a lot of countries made special grenades for putting on the end of a rifle, the US actually went the other way and instead invented a small metal cup that you put a normal grenade inside of and stick it on the end of a gun, you then pull the pin out of the grenade, stick the rifle on the ground, and fire it at somebody you want to explode, the cup falls off in flight and releases the lever so that the grenade goes off.

This was considered an improvement over the purpose built versions because the timed fuse meant it exploded very reliably :v:

I can't find a picture of them being used unfortunately because it looks very funny seeing a guy pointing a gun with a hand grenade stuck on the end, but imagine this guy with a pineapple on the end of the gun.

Is a smooth bore shotgun still a gun, or does it not count since it's technically a bazooka at that point?

This is my riffle

This is my gun

One is for shooting bullets

One is for shooting rockets

Tbh I've lost track of which is which because I don't care.

'Gun', when discussing hunting firearms, traditionally specified that it was smooth-bore, as opposed to a rifle, but we're talking 'African big game hunting in the 19th century' tradition.

A bazooka is always and only a rocket launcher, though.

It does. I just found the exclamation that lampbase must be destroyed funny.
Also it should really be "disposed of by hotel maintenance" , some guest might decide to destroy it by application of downward kinetic force.

It's a big heavy standing lamp, unless you disguise is as a person in a series of comical encounters with hotel staff on your out you're not stealing it.
And if you actually do disguise a lamp, please post pictures.

Season 3's actually pretty decent if you've not seen it. Season 2 is very much just spinning its wheels getting things in place for Season 3 though.

Yeah season 3 is a really nice change of direction. Season 2 is boring as hell in addition to having no identity of its own.

really trying to wrap my mind around if face sheild sunglass is something I could pull off in public...during covid seeing people wear face shields and no mask always irritated me and I did not like the look of it either, but as a sunglass...I wonder
