Sapper porn, the ULTIMATE shovel! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=315_1272778444
 
 
Oh baby. . . . I might defect.

[BloodEagle]

Would you people learn how to link, already!?

[The E]

Meh. Neither does it make coffee, nor does it run Linux.

[Dilmah G]

Wow, that **** is ****ing amazing. Can you strap it under your Type 95 as a bayonet?

[Colonol Dekker]

SHIELD SHIELD SHIELD.

[Rodo]

I would love to have one of those with my Baldur's Gate character, that way I would be able to fight hordes of Gnolls and then after done being able to bury them all so it doesn't stink for ages to come.

[Scourge of Ages]

OK, great, it's a shovel. Look at it dig.

Yeah, so it reverses and becomes a hoe. Whooo.

Big deal, it can measure things.

All right, it's a very sharp shovel. That can chop small trees.

And it's a saw.

And it slices vegetables?

Annnnd a wire cutter. Bottle opener. Can opener. Weapon. Shield.

Hammer?! Grappling hook???

Must... call... international number...

[Klaustrophobia]

so its a shovel with a rotating head and a sharp edge. 

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Oh god. I just saw people slice vegetables with a shovel. Now I've seen everything...

Though if you're gonna use it for shoveling, I bet the sharp edge and the saw edge won't last too long.

[Rodo]

If only it came in silver tone...

[Colonol Dekker]

It does the job of lots of things in the form of one. It's much more efficient for someone in my line of work to carry the ULTIMATE SHOVEL and it's inevitable care kit (sharpener and cleaning gear) than carrying around every item it replaces.
 
 Although I do own four different Gerbers already. When you're used to a "shovel, engineer pattern" seeing this makes my bits and bobs dance.
 
Progress is good. I just wish we'd invented it

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Now to just add a clip, trigger, action, and hollow out the handle and it can fire off a few rounds too.  Just need a disclaimer against using the hammer feature while loaded.

[Liberator]

And this is different from a standard issue US Army Entrenching Tool how exactly?

[Colonol Dekker]

Tell me what that thing I've never heard of can do.

[Dilmah G]

And this is different from a standard issue US Army Entrenching Tool how exactly?

Does it have a sharp edge and moving end?

[Klaustrophobia]

to be fair, your standard shovel CAN do most of the tasks shown.  maybe not as flashily or neatly, but you can certainly hack trees apart with an ordinary shovel.  probably even pop open the beers if you got inventive enough.

[Liberator]

Does it have a sharp edge and moving end?

The ones I've seen, yes.  The M-1943 had different attachments so it did more than that.

[Klaustrophobia]

yeah my brother in law told me this weekend that their foxhole shovels indeed have sawblades and whatnot, and double as weapons.

[redsniper]

I guess China just advertises better then.

[Mongoose]

And they have a TOLL-FREE NUMBER CALL NOW!!!
