This is way different than a pinapple....perhaps not as destructive...but awful painful if launched from that sling shot..and broken open at the apex of it

That guy stabilizing it would be toast :/

Wow..that looks authentic :lolno: Is that how you light your Hawaiian Barbecues, or do you just wait for Kilauea to get it started? :haha: Well, General, long before Sherman flame throwing tanks; long before improvised molotov catapults (made from some babushka's underwear!), British Boffins had perfected the Molotov chucker..this from 700 years ago... (the action takes a while to get going, whilst we're subjected to some tedious Jester-lookalike winding the 'crowd' up to fever pitch..or driving them ye olde exits.. :haha:
