  1. Tried to explain so many times over the decades to friends what a, "recoilless rifle is. And how it operates. Most civvies can't get past the fact it isn't a," rifle", in the true sense of the word. Then when I explain it's recoilless because of the gas ports at the rear. They ask. "Then how can it fire the shell". Gratitude for ur post sir. It has saved me a lot of explaining. PS: Gratitude for all ur posts. As an ex British army pioneer. I learn a lot. The minute u think u know everything. U stop learning.

  2. "White Phosphorus, used to create smoke"??? It would create smoke, true, but it is also a weapon which burns so horrifically it was banned by the Geneva convention since WW2. I won't say for certain but using it as cover. Was, "(cover)" for getting round the weapons embargo. If I'm in error I'd welcome any replies that would help clarify the situation for me. Thanks.
