Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

A. You have no clue about how artillery fires.
B. It's literally in the name. They didn't do that for shits and giggles. They weren't trying to fool the Germans.
C. The 40mm HEDP round is fully capable of destroying light armor. In your limited idea of grenade launchers there is nothing that ever got higher than a mobility kill on a tank.
D. The trajectory of the ordnance is not included in anyone's definition of grenade.
Please don't run around spouting random stuff so confidently. I'm allergic to that.
