But no, I mean it, why do they sell these?> snip Because if your gun jams you can hit the guy over the head with your shovel? If its made by Glock you can hit him repeatedly before running out of hits. I think warfare has usually been all about finding the deepest hole and climbing in it. A solder loves his shovel. Without one he'd have not hole to climb in. I think Bill Mauldin goes into this with his Willie and Joe, series. Which he won a Pulitzer for. http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080513/willie-joe_l.jpg [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
