I knew that various WWII special forces carried daggers or stilettos, such as the famous Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife, but the type of stiletto with which the above-shown, er, soldiers are equiped aren’t a particular weapon category with which I was previously familiar. The closest equivalent I can think of is Betty Grable’s legs, photographs of which boosted the morale of American GIs in WWII to such an extent that they probably had a significant impact on the course of the war. I think that at one point 20th Century Fox went so far as to insure her legs for 1 million IPCs…um, I mean dollars.
Does anyone want to DRIVE A TANK?
-
Has anyone seen this? An amusement park where you can pay to drive tanks and run over stuff:
Web site says:
Located in Kasota, Minn., about 75 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Open several days a month; often fully booked ahead of time. Package that includes driving a tank and shooting a machine gun, $399. Additional $549 to smash a car.
For $3,500 you can drive a tank through a trailer house. I don’t have that kind of money, but they have sold over 600 packages already!

I have a two fold problem with that fun idea.
Firstly, I would have to be the tank commander and not driver.
Secondly, I would spend those $3000 then, being Italian, I would have to engage reverse, whereupon I would run over the instructor and end up spending the rest of my life in prison! -
I’m game!

For $8,000 can I shoot at another tank, being driven by another customer? Then we can talk…

There used to be an outfit in Calgary that allowed that.
Of course they were using miles gear… AKA Lazer Tag.
