    PUNJI PITS

    We talk of weapons on this site and the damage they do we are all aware of, however, the punji pit, used throughout the ages to great effectiveness in slowing an Army down has been fine tuned in recent wars. The Jungle BATA boot was no challenge for the Punji!!
    Just the carrying of one downed soldier took its toll in slowing down a Platoon or Section and the enemy knew it.
