    I’m just amazed looking at how that guy just swings it up in the air

    If I’d have to handle enough high explosives to rip a second asshole in a tank, I’d be treating it with kitty gloves.

      Having worked a wage slave summer job assembling fireworks, you eventually get comfortable. Usually complacent too, which isn’t great in a factory but there’s standards like spark prevention and max magazine size that keeps most accidents inconsequential.

      In a battlefield tho, 100% not. The rule of “If you didn’t see it placed there, it’s booby trapped” should be universal, doubly so if you’re handling UXO.
