What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Yep, that empty 66 LAW tube is a dangerous as it gets if you fall on it, sharp edges and all that.

Some interesting stuff there, although those old cast iron pineapples have been about for decades.

I wonder how much is actually serviceable?

I wonder if we'll find out whether ANY of the arms are actually viable, or they'll all turn out to be replicas and the story will be conveniently forgotten about 8-)
