Folks,
I was chatting with a friend who claims he has read that, in WW2, BAZ were "quite effective"
(his words) against infantry in woods because the BAZ round would send splinters flying
everywhere, akin to an airburst. He claims they were sufficiently effective that this use of a
BAZ became a standard tactic. Sadly, he cannot remember where he read it. Thus, he said,
ASL's prohibition on using BAZ/PSK against infantry in woods is unreasonable.
Has anyone else heard of this?
It's a bit irrelevant, but I've read a fair bit, and I cannot recall a single instance where it was
suggested BAZ were used this way, much less this being a standard tactic.
Happy Thanksgiving!
