Shall we?

Thanks just the same; let's not.

well,does'nt concealment mean your behind something that bullets will go through,and cover means you are behind something that will stop the projectiles someone is shooting with at you?

 

[madmike]

Slzy: Correct.

You'd be amazed how many people don't know that.

What's shrapnel vs fragments?

 

[Brian Dale]

Shrapnel's a type of artillery shell, IIRC. The projectile is essentially a flying shotgun shell that goes off when it's near its target (usually troops rather than structures), to discharge--what, ball bearings?

It's named for the British officer who invented it.

Ah...looked it up: usually contained lead balls, also called bullets.

Well I have my grandpa's flak jacket from when he was a C130 pilot, so I can don that when people start giving me flak, I suppose
