Today’s invention is an emergency crutch for wounded soldiers, based on their existing rifle.
In the event of a legwound, a soldier could detach the barrel of his rifle from the breech mechanism and allow it to slide out of the stock until it could be secured in place, as shown, using a thumbwheel.
Removal of part of the shoulder stock would then form a crutch and allow the individual to move away from the conflict more rapidly to a place of comparative safety.
Would be ok, until he completely blew their foot off… lol
No, sorry, I don’t find that very amusing 🙁
