Wow.No honourable death charge for that guy, penis guy finally died, shouts of people charging to their death and the >choose. Not sure if he gonna go fight after this chapter.

 

[Fuko]

they should have tied his injury tighter

 

[Drifter]

Suicide charge indeed. Even if they made it to a tank, they would be too close to the explosion. This is the first I've heard of them but I assume the author did his homework and those charges on a stick were actually used.

 

[norctune]

So how effective are those mines and what are the sticks at the end used for? Was it to ensure the user put the mine next to the armour at a 90 degree angle for maximum penetration?

 

[Cry_Nevermore]

So Drifter's comment got me curious, and a quick Wikipedia search would indicate the weapons handed to the soldiers in this chapter were real, a type of anti-tank grenade called a "lunge mine." The fact that they killed the user along with the target seems to have been a feature, not a bug. In exchange, though, it had one of the highest penetration rates of any of the anti-tank grenades used during the war, about double that of other weapons of the same type.

Tragedy occured under the presence of magnificent ranbow ... Such a contradictive things between those two

This suicidal AT lunge make me curious, did japan have think of/access to something similliar to nazi's panzerfaust ? ... Given they're allies & many causalities at the allied tank in the hands of panzerfaust at the late period of war

*edit :
Found something similliar but still not count as 'panzerfaust' ... It doesn't have disposeable & mass produce feature yet
