Ghost of BiB Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was always partial to the white streak of the phosperous rounds myself. 613574[/snapback] Multi-tools is what's "in" though, no one with any true fashion sense lugs entrenching tools any more.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Like you ever even seen a smoke grenade let alone pulled the pin on one. You probably think concussion grenades are shaped like pinecones, don't you? Friggen loser. 613565[/snapback] Did you even have concussion grenades in the shire?

Fashion is lost on me. I prefer functionality over looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Don't real people just call them "shovels"? 613586[/snapback] No. They have other uses. The head can be locked down at angles. Friggen loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of BiB Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 No. 613597[/snapback] Yes. The "old" style e-tools were both a shovel and a pick, and could be used as a weapon. The new ones are little spade looking things that weigh about a pound and fold out to about a 1 foot handle. Good for digging cat holes to poop in, but not much else.

Good for digging cat holes to poop in, but not much else. 613603[/snapback] No. http://www31.brinkster.com/rebellionmarine.../ground-gen.htm The Collapsible Entrenching tool has it's origins as far back as Earth's 19th Century. It's purpose is simple, to allow the Marine to 'dig in', to either fortify his/her position with earth or trenches, or dig a hole (commonly known as a 'foxhole') to hide and protect him/herself, without carrying a bulky shovel. This tool attaches easily to the side of a Marines Pack, and is carried by all riflemen, and some officers. As a Secondary, and more deadly option, the entrenching tool it designed to be used as an impromptu battle axe (notice the serrated edges on the right side of the head, designed for this purpose).

If my life depends on unfolding a travel shovel to defend myself, I'd say I have bigger problems. Unless I'm guarding my cat hole, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
