We had a "shotgun guard" guy in the back of a deuce-and-a-half for a supply run in Korea. A slicky-boy cut the canvas and climbed in when we stopped at a stop sign. His idea was to throw stuff out for his buddies to carry off.
"Mousie" cut loose with his grease gun, at about five feet. Seriously ruined the slicky-boy. Messy.
And MPs and paperwork. Later, Mousie got a General Court Martial, was found guilty of manslaughter, fined one dollar and given a carton of cigarettes, which took care of any double-jeopardy issues.
Anyhow, the old grease gun ain't all bad, if you're not in front of it.
