#3 I often think that some names/acronyms are far too obvious.
This doesn't matter in the civilian world where marketing and sales encourage it for economical reasons and ID purposes, ie, everyone knows what they're talking about, instantly recognisable, the world over.
But, having this sort of thing and other useful devices hitting the "combat-zone market" to surprise our rascally, ugly, soon-to-be-dead palominos with, I wouldn't want to let them know what we're talking about beforehand: like with TRAP. An international word.
If someone said to me, "There's a trap over there", I wouldn't go near it, I would go around it, or find another way.
So let's allow them to make up their own word for it, and waste some time trying to think of a word for a new experience, after they've been rinsed and repeated a few times and still don't know wtf we're talking about. Call it a lateral thinking exercise, new experience. (Lateral thinking probably not allowed by Allan, whereas imaginary thinking is).
Back to the competition! Instead of acronyms, perhaps try jargon. I say, "Forget TRAP".
Let's try the "Shred My Wheels-Pack", or perhaps the BJ, but they would know what that was, so it's the Sierra Mike Whiskey for me.
