HEY! A few weeks back I posted about this...news item on channel 5 here in the UK about Iraq. I distinctly remember seeing a group of men and boys with some nasty weapons, and on the far left, a kid, maybe 11-13, with a sling with a grenade in a pouch, lever down. Look in the thread about fireslings.
I visited the tank museum in Devon a few weeks back, and found some WW1 German egg sized grenades...just the right size for slinging.
Anyhow, isn't there a story/article on this site about an Israeli army officer teaching his troops how to make and use slings for throwing grenades. He must have been one of the 1972 Antebe air lifted Jews, because I remeber him writing, "...this is how we learn to throw grenadeds in the..." oh damn, my heads gone blank again...anyhow, I found it the first time I visited this site.
