beer bottle method
NOW FOR FIGHTING TANKS
_
MONTEREY, Calif. —The com
mon beer bottle, often a wicked
weapon in the hands of belliger
ent citizens, may be elevated
soon to a most important instru
ment of national defense.
That possibility was forseen by
cavalry officers at the Monterey
Presidio after antitank combat
experiments showed that a gaso
line-filled beer bottle hurled at
a tank and then ignited can frus
trate a tank attack.
When the bottle is smashed
against the tank, the gasoline
spills over the armor. The liquid |
is then ignited by a Very pistol
or a tracer bullet and the tank is
disabled.
The bottle method of fighting
tanks was used effectively by
Moroccan cavalry in Spain.
