Description
English: "A Viet Cong bullet firing device. A wooden box is buried in the ground. A rifle bullet is held vertically by several nails driven into the box. A rubber band holds the bullet up off the point of a nail that has been driven through the bottom of a the box in line with the primer. The device is then camouflaged. A person stepping on the bullet will force it down against the nail point setting it off and driving the projectile upward - March 1966."
