and then they fall into insurgents hands and explode when fired.

I personally think that it is a great idea.

Doctored ammo has been a US pys war tactic for many years, when
dealing with asyemetric forces.

Sticking a bit of C4 into a 7.62x39 round and slipping a bunch of them
into a cache of enemy ammo tends to make those shooting at you flinch
a bunch.

In fact..I saw what I believe to have been a doctored round fired by a
bad guy once. That bolt came right out of the back of the AK, took
off most of his face, and dropped his buddies on both sides of him.

Was rather neat actually, considering they were shooting in my
direction....
Ended that bit of foolishness right fast.

This is our asymmetric version of a roadside bomb.

Let's have a sanity check on this. If it was real, how did the video get
out? And wouldn't the camera have suffered?

I do not think that making rigged ammunition is uncivilized.

The camera may have been captured at a later time with the video on
it. There is nothing to say that the camera WASN'T damaged but if it
was, not to any major degree. It may well have been outside the major
blast area, using a tele lens. Any number of logical scenarios here.

There was a highly classified (and effective) program that planted
doctored ammo during the Viet Nam war. It has just recently been
declassified.

Roger that. Any notion of civilized warfare is ridiculous. Warfare is
not a sport.

Got a link to any stats?

It would be interesting to see how many gomers we dispatched that way.

I've often thought that law enforcement should be empowered to set up
"honeypots." Put an anhydrous ammonia tank out in a field where
anyone can reach it without much difficulty. Load it with hydrogen
cyanide instead of ammonia.

Evolution in action.

So, after it kills the Meth chemist, Who closes the valve?

Google "operation eldest son" and on "doctored ammo".

The benefit wasn't so much how many gomers got directly dispatched as
it was upon morale. Psywar. When one gomer gets killed by his own
weapon, all that see or hear about that event get nervous. Having
trepidations about firing one's weapon can significantly diminish
one's effectiveness in combat, more so in attack than in defense but
the VC was seldom in defensive mode by virtue of being diffuse.
