Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "A Viet Cong hand grenade with a pull friction firing device installed under the outer post of the gate. Often an M-26 grenade will be used. It is relatively simple to put the grenade in a slight depression, put the gate on the spoon, and then pull the pin and add camouflage - March 1966.

Gates should always be suspected. They should either be blown open or pulled open by a grapple. A local Vietnamese is handy for this purpose too since they invariably know which ones are safe and which are not."
