Identify that Tank/Ship/Plane/Artillery etc

[King_Porus]

It is indeed the Gammon bomb, used by British, Canadian, and American Special Forces like Easy Company from Band of Brothers

What I meant by how is it used is that the bag came with a stick of plastic explosives. If it was used against armour they would put the whole stick in the bag and if it was against infantry they would only put in half of the explosives and put in any pieces of metal or rocks to be used as shrapnel.

Your turn.

^ Gotcha

Speaking of explosives, what is this lovely contraption?

[Jagdpanzer]

Is it a mine?

[King_Porus]

I think he may want the answer to be a bit more detailed (the name of it or something)

[Mary The Quene]

It's an anti tank mine , designed to counter tanks ofcourse.

It got used by the germans this type.

and you have to detonate this type of mine.

[Caselius]

German Flachmine 17?

[Jagdpanzer]

Correct, I cannot rep you right now. Will rep you later. Rogue General seems to have forgotten that he posted here. It's your turn to post a picture. Post a difficult one, please.

German pioneers, the foot soldiers who went ahead of the main company to pave the way for them, initially used existing artillery and mortar shells fitted with sensitive fuses. They also employed command-detonated mines, which are the forerunners of modern full-width attack anti-tank mines. These earliest anti-tank mines were scattered at random to reinforce wire obstacles and anti-tank ditches in front of the trench lines. Most of the early improvised anti-tank mines used by the Germans were very large with one dimension in excess of a meter. Because of the size, large holes were dug to bury the mines which made it relatively easy for the Allied sappers (military engineer who lays, detects and disarms mines) to locate the mines.

The German Flachmine 17 landmine was mass produced starting in 1916 after the appearance of British and French tanks. Consisting of a wooden box measuring approximately 20 x 30 x 5 cm and weighing about 4.6 kg, the box was filled with 18, 200 g explosive blocks. They were buried about 25 cm deep. Detonation was caused by one of four ‘spring percussion lighters’ and triggered either automatically by the weight of the tank passing over it, or remotely (which was greatly facilitated by the use of electric detonators).

During the course of the war, the Germans had produced approximately 3,852,000 land mines, with an average monthly production rate of 108,000 in 1917 and 128,000 in 1918.

Name this ship!

[geyserik]

The Vainamoinen a Finnish ship?

[Caselius]

The Vainamoinen a Finnish ship?

Yes it is.
Damn, I thought that was impossible to guess.

[geyserik]

Ok name this shipAttachment 290332

[Favor Daver]

el Hefe "the boss"

[geyserik]

el Hefe "the boss"

L.O.L. A hint this ship was rumored to have been used for a strange test.

[ImperialAquila]

The USS Eldridge? Used for the Philadelphia Experiment?

[geyserik]

The USS Eldridge? Used for the Philadelphia Experiment?

Correct I read a book about it but it seemed very far fetched.+ rep.Your turn.

Could someone please rep me for my Vainamoinen guess Thanks!

[ImperialAquila]

Indeed. It was really a weird experiment. The poor crewmen suffered.

Here's a very easy one. The camo itself is a big give away.

[Favor Daver]

Repped, so that's the USS Eldridge?... crazy. I heard they were fused with the ship.

ImperialAquila, your photo isn't showing.

[ImperialAquila]

My bad. Does the image work now?

ImperialAquila, your photo isn't showing.

Yes Favor in the book I read it said that they somehow traveled in time the ship disappeared and then reappeared 300 miles or so down the east coast.When it reappeared sailors were fused to the deck!
I have read a more plausible theory that it was a test to make the ship invisible to radar nothing more using some kind of Tesla technology.Thanks for repping me!

[geyserik]

My bad. Does the image work now?

Yes the Image is fine now.Have to look through my book of german tanks.
