    Yes, got that one. You mount the 'rifle' in the mounting rack in the armoured vehicle and drop the hose and other cup, known as the OUTER cup out of the vehicle side or through the armoured hull. Then when you need to urinate, you can do it into the rifle cup knowing that you or even the most well hung or endowed member of the platoon is unlikely to miss. The contents then travel down the tube around a series of bends where they enter the outer cup and evacuate to atmosphere. The leather cup on the end of the hose acts as a venturi (...... all remember about professor venturi's law on the angular dissipation of dense gas from your school physics lessons..... And do you all remember the angle at which it naturally dissipates?) and in doing so ensures that the depression caused at the rifle cup end of the tube effectively draws all of the waste liquid from the vehicle. If the outer cup is facing rearwards this ensures that any following vehicle - or jihadi jingly bike - get liberally sprayed with the now atomised urine. Now, because they might be temporarily blinded by the beery stomach contents of Private Bloggs earlier NAAFI pi55-up, they could fail to see the sharp braking of the 7 ton Mastiff AFV ahead which could be rather unfortunate.........

    Just a thought and I could be wrong

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    You would have thought at that range why cut down an Enfield when they could have issued a double barrel sawed off shotgun.
