shrapnel

my gp was in vietnam, and he got hit with shrapnel in the knee. he can use it, but he limps a lil bit still.
 
My Dad shot himself in the thumb with a bb gun as a kid. It rolled around in there for 85 years.

i'm not even going to ask.

There was totally this time when I...never came across shrapnel.

that happened to one of our cats as a kid.

Was named after a man named Henry shrapnel.

No bullshit.

relation or fancy?

You some kind of ghoul? Google is your friend.

there's a hole in my bucket.
 
Many bullets will shed tiny bits of shrapnel when they enter the body. Those tiny bits can do more damage than the larger, whole bullet.

The kill radius of an M67 is only about 5 meters.

Shrapnel is technically a part of a certain kind of weapon but over the years has been used to also mean the fragments of any kind of fragmentation weapon.
 
It was late in the evening and the mortar rounds started to fall inside the compound. It was then that we knew we had a VC in our ranks. Shrapnel was flying every which way. You could hear the tweets and whirring sounds as it passed overhead. It was times like these that your bunker was your friend, unless the damn round landed right on top of you, then you were just dead.

Tracing a .22 through dead flesh can be challenging.
 
Great! Like I don't have enough to worry about...snarks, shrapnel, wallet gremlins.

Don't feed them after 3:17 p.m.!

Technically, the fragments from a grenade aren't shrapnel.

The M67 can be thrown 30 to 35 meters by the average male soldier. It has a 4.0–5.5 second fuse that ignites explosives packed inside a round body. Steel fragments (not to be confused with shrapnel) are provided by the grenade body and produce an injury radius of 15 meters (~45 ft), with a fatality radius of 5 meters (~15 ft), though some fragments can disperse as far out as 250 meters.
