#4 "Iâve had a lot of fun and seen a lot of places"

#6 SH, my barney version (for brevity): Basically long-ass tube of steel piping, charge goes through the ass-end and is pushed up all the way until its under the designated obstacle and then detonated. Very similar to the bangalore used in the "big red 1" movie w/Lee Marvin. Great for clearing strands of concertina wire or hardened obstacles where tracked vehicles can't get through.
