If thats a bunker what is the best way to ensure its empty throw a phosphorus grenade in or a frag and wait for the results, be nasty if you ended up looking down the muzzle of the enemy in the hole.:yikes:
I can't imagine what he'd be doing except to be looking into the entrance. Yes, a grenade is better but perhaps there's a reason not to. Still, he appears to be one that knows what he's doing, I'm not sure I'd cross him...finger on the trigger...
Perhaps this is the aftermath of throwing the prescribed grenade.

Possibly...it IS how it looks...
Our SOP was to throw two grenades simultaneously, after having let them cook for a count of three. One grenade, he might be able to pitch back. Giving any bunker or tunnel occupants a choice reduced the odds of that happening tremendously. Being on a tank made carrying a case of grenades convenient.
Or, giving him a HESH round for good measure...Quote:

Flame thrower tank in Korea
When I was young my Snr NCOs had gone on the flamethrower course as private soldiers. That would have been in the '60's. They were still around.
M132 aka "Zippo" track in Viet Nam, this one with the 11th ACR. A small cupola in the center of the hull mounted an M10-8 flame gun with a coaxial 7.62 mm caliber M73 machine gun, neither of which possessed a sterling reputation for reliability. A bit of burning rag on the end of a coat hanger backed up the troublesome igniters. Two hundred gallons of napalm was good for about 30 seconds with a range of about 200 meters. Crews were loathe to pressurize the system until just before use.
