Treasure Of Nimrud Is Found In Iraq, And It's Spectacular

How Two Men Pumped Flooded Vault To Secure Missing Assyrian Antiquities

".... The U.S. Army's Third Infantry Division quickly sent a tank to guard the area after bank officials found that looters were trying to get inside the vaults. Several robbers had killed each other in one of the buildings, and others were shooting AK-47s at the vault doors. One man was killed when he fired his rocket-propelled grenade at the vault while standing less than 10 feet away."

My comment: First the looters shoot each other with automatic weapons. If that doesn't stop the theft, a grenade at 10 feet will normally remove the recipient from the gene pool

Needs a re-write-

Agreed - needs a better writeup. For that matter, an RPG has one hellofa backblast, so anyone firing one inside of an enclosed area would be in some danger from the confined backblast.

Gregory is right, with a better writeup, it has alot of comical possiblities. using an rpg at point blank when you know how to use it, is pretty D.A. worthy.

Gregory said:

I believe it needs a better writeup, but if you know how to use a rocket propelled grenade, you should know not to fire it at a door 10 feet away. If you don't know how to use it, you should stay the hell away. It has some potential

Perhaps I'm just jaded tonight, but I see no humour in this at all.
