Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "A Viet Cong mouse trap bullet firing device. To use this device, a hole is drilled in the side of a door jamb and a bullet fitted tightly in the hole. A sharp piece of metal is soldered to the wire on the mouse trap. The mouse trap is then placed so that when it is sprung the sharp metal tip will strike the primer of the bullet, firing the projectile across the doorway. The mouse trap is sprung by a trip wire attached to the door stoop. - March 1966."
