Remember another crazy incident, me and friend are assigned to be enemy and a contact point for "arty drill" for the Bn.
So to simulate Arty we are given 200+ Thunderflashes.
before exercise start, my friend found a metal pipe and we thought we can make an improvised Mortar and use the T-Flash as the charge.
So we put in nonsense into the pipe and see what happens...
we put things we found in the area....
1) Mess-mug (flew about 20 m high and deformed)
2) pebbles (aimed at a training shed, it rained pebbles for a while)
3) golf ball (flew and lost)
4) SAF powder (entire area was white after)
5) Pommegrenate (exploded)
6) tree stem (flying arrow)
7) water bag (exploded inside the pipe)
silica gel (aimed at my friend, he say no pain at all, like rain drops)
haha.. had lots of fun for 4-5 hours instead of proning and what for our trainees to come.
hmm... for all the above, we taken safety precautions liao according to Training Safety Regs & Directives
