I had a summer job going to college, the year was 1968. I worked at the Honeywell Ordinance Proving grounds, north of Minneapolis. I did low level jobs, like poke sawdust down a big steel drum that a tech had exploded a bomb-let. The drum funneled down and I was above poking the sawdust through it to a magnetic wheel that collected the fragments.
You butter video reminded me of another, the above was just an example. The other was I made blocks of jello, maybe 2' X 3', they had to sit for a 24 hours. Then the tech would place them around a bomb-let and explode one. Then the tech would carve out the tracks of the fragments and send them to the main plant to be analyzed. They planned on dropping like a huge net full in Vietnam. They would spiral down all in all directions. They had several disc's that would shoot out with a wire attached to the bomb let, which was the size of a tennis ball. The bomb-let was so smart that it would not go off for 8 seconds, because they did not want it going off in a tree. The ideal of them was to create a mine field. And the idea of the jello tracks was they did not want to kill the enemy, just would them. So that wanted fragments that would tear flesh. Jello was quite close to flesh.
pags, think about that was 50 years ago, imagine the technology know when they had that then.
